There were three before the king
There were three who wouldn't bow to him
For when you heard the music play
And you were standing you would burn
And they looked at him, said
"Burn us up, burn us up, burn us up
Oh king, won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?"
Oh, we give up, we give up, we give up
Oh king, won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?
Won't you throw us in the fire?
♪
The king enraged at what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
And they looked to him and said
"Burn us up, burn us up, burn us up
Oh king, won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?"
Oh, we give up, we give up, we give up
Oh king, oh won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?
Won't you save us from the fire?
You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It's the declaration of my Lord
You're not an image of gold, you're the God of old
You have made us, come and save us, we are Yours
But even if you don't
Even if you don't
Even if you don't, if you don't
We will burn (burn us up)
We will burn (oh, burn us up)
Burn us up, burn us up, burn us up
Oh king, oh, won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?
Oh, we give up (we give up)
We give up (we give up), we give up
Oh king, oh, won't you burn us
In the furnace of your desire?
Won't you throw us in the fire?
