[Verse] The fool runs wild in the night so cold Silver tongues twist truths for gold Wisdom cries in the streets Unheard The righteous walk steady Their path assured [Prechorus] A whisper speaks Louder than a scream The fear of the Lord ignites the dream [Chorus] Proverbs written in fire In stone They cut to the marrow They carve to the bone Hold tight to the truth Don't let it slip Wisdom's a lantern A sword in your grip [Verse 2] The lazy hand will reap the dust Pride builds empires that crumble to rust But the humble heart will harvest peace A fountain of life Where storms will cease [Bridge] Iron sharpens iron So do we Brothers and sisters Bound and free The path of the wicked fades to black But the righteous step forward No turning back [Chorus] Proverbs written in fire In stone They cut to the marrow They carve to the bone Hold tight to the truth Don't let it slip Wisdom's a lantern A sword in your grip
