[Downbeat Hook] Buy the field while the city is falling, Seal the hope where the witnesses stand. [Verse 1] The siege towers stood where the vineyard should be, The prison court heard silver counted carefully. Seventeen shekels for soil under war, A deed for a future no eye could yet see. [Chorus] Buy the field while the city is falling, Seal the hope where the witnesses stand. Put both deeds in an earthen vessel, Faith makes a purchase in a conquered land. [Verse 2] Nothing is too hard, yet judgment is real; Prayer did not deny what the armies revealed. One heart will be given, the scattered returned, Vineyards will rise where the watchfires burned. [Bridge] The prophet bought ground he might never possess, A signature against the empire’s finality. [Final Chorus] Buy the field while the city is falling, Seal the hope where the witnesses stand. Faith makes a purchase in a conquered land. A signature against the empire’s finality.
