[Verse] The temple rang with coins that fell Tables turned in a fiery spell He called us thieves Unmasked the lie Our power shook beneath his cry [Verse 2] The crowds They cheer His name they sing This rebel man They call him king Our grip is slipping Shadows grow What he will spark We do not know [Chorus] What to do when the tides won’t bend When the power we wield begins to end Our latest plan has come undone And his light burns brighter than the sun [Verse 3] He told his tales He spoke in code The vineyard's heirs The seeds he sowed The rulers' pride The cornerstone Now the crowd won't leave him alone [Bridge] The more we plot The less we gain His truth cuts deep It leaves a stain To stop this fire To snuff the flame We risk the ruin of our good name [Chorus] What to do when the tides won’t bend When the power we wield begins to end Our latest plan has come undone And his light burns brighter than the sun
