Profit For The Famine

{ { "lyrics": "[Intro]\nI call on the spirit of Elijah — let the skies go dry till the children eat [echo: "eat!"]\nNot silence, not surrender — just fire and prayer beneath my feet\n\n[Verse 1]\nI heard the wails behind the wall, the crib with no cry\nWhen justice gets bombed, even angels can’t fly\nThey decree starvation — call it policy and war\nBut prophets don’t sleep when the hungry hit the floor\n\nI stood in the drought like my name was command\nSaid 'God, if they won't feed them, shut down their land'\nIf the raven fed me, what stopped their hands?\nTheir drones drop fire, but not one loaf stands\n\n[Chorus]\nLet the fire fall on lies, Lord — burn the idols clean\nIf truth walks barefoot, let it still be seen\nWe ain't asking — we’re flooding, Amos in our chest\nTill every child eats... eats... eats — there ain’t no rest\n\n[Verse 2]\nEven Bethlehem’s cradle wept through Rome’s dark reign\nToday Gaza’s babes cry — that same blood, that same pain\nThe children cry out like souls at the altar\nWhile drones drown their hunger — but God hears them louder\n\nI'm not here for peace wrapped in delay\nI’m here to echo what the infants can’t say\nI call every name lost to the dust\nAnd God counts them righteous — in Him, we trust\n\n[Chorus]\nLet the fire fall on lies, Lord — burn the idols clean\nIf truth walks barefoot, let it still be seen\nWe ain't asking — we’re flooding, Amos in our chest\nTill every child eats... eats... eats — there ain’t no rest\n\n[Bridge]\n“How long, O Lord?” — the children still ask\nNo vengeance yet, just empty flasks\nBut heaven holds each fragile breath\nAnd justice don’t forget their deaths\n\n[Outro]\nSo I prophesy with a trembling voice\nIf you starve the cradle, you mock His choice\nI call on Elijah — stop the rain till they heed\nAnd I’ll speak ‘til the silence concedes" }
