Foolish Wisdom

(Verse 1)
The clock is ticking, but we're standing still
Eagerly waiting for a final thrill
But the house is fractured, the mortar's weak
Forty thousand tongues, when we’re called to speak
One mind, one purpose, or the whole thing falls
We built on sand, ignoring all the calls
Your 'wise' words echo, a hollow sound
The cross is foolish to the un-crowned.

(Pre-Chorus)
Is your wisdom a chain? Is your boast a lie?
Do you trust in the power of a human eye?

(Chorus)
We're running to win, not just to finish the race
Stripped of our comfort, lost the world's grace
Look like a fool to the gods of this age
Open the book, turn a new page
Boast only in the Lord, let the world rage.
The Kingdom's not talk, it’s power in this place.

(Verse 2)
Flee from the shadows, the fire's still hot
Don't let your freedom become a knot
A slave to nothing, but the will of the King
You don't own the body, from which these sins spring
No association with the greedy and proud
Our bodies are temples, scream it out loud
Don't sue your brother, don't play their game
Better to suffer the loss, than to poison the name.

(Pre-Chorus)
Is your wisdom a chain? Is your boast a lie?
Do you trust in the power of a human eye?

(Chorus)
We're running to win, not just to finish the race
Stripped of our comfort, lost the world's grace
Look like a fool to the gods of this age
Open the book, turn a new page
Boast only in the Lord, let the world rage.
The Kingdom's not talk, it’s power in this place.

(Bridge)
Prophecy will fade, and knowledge will fail
All the signs and the wonders, a temporary veil
We earnestly desire a more excellent way
If you don't have love, you're just noise for a day.
Love is the foundation, it never gives up
Love is the only prize in this bitter cup.

(Guitar Solo - Intense, driving, with a melodic, hopeful core)

(Chorus)
We're running to win, not just to finish the race
Stripped of our comfort, lost the world's grace
Look like a fool to the gods of this age
Open the book, turn a new page
Boast only in the Lord, let the world rage.
The Kingdom's not talk, it’s power in this place.

(Outro)
Be strong and immovable...
Work enthusiastically...
Do everything with love...
(Repeat and fade)
