Josiah Queen's song tells the biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who refuse to bow to a golden idol and are thrown into a fiery furnace. The lyrics emphasize unwavering faith and the presence of a divine companion in the flames, echoing the fourth man seen in the fire. The song conveys a message of standing firm in faith despite pressure and persecution, trusting that God is with believers through the worst trials.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
They made a statue painted gold
Told me to bend my knee
It really don't make sense to praise something when it can't breathe like they say to do
They tried to change my name and told me who I born to be
My heart was racing, racing in a war that doesn't cease
It always fights
My own demise
They can't have my soul. No. I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down, another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes there's another man there too
They led me down
Through the town
And brought me to that king
The only king that I fear is he who lives in me
He can save me from the flames and if he don't, I'll burn for him
They can't have my soul. No. I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down, another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes there's another man there too
They grabbed my wrist
And clinched their fist
And threw me in those flames
On my shoulders was a hand of another man
He said just five words
"I'm there through the worst"
They can't have my soul. No. I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down, another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes there's another man there too
They can't have my soul. No. I won't bow my knee
When the world is crashing down, another stands with me
In the fire, I wonder what they'll do
When they see with their eyes there's another man there too
