Lyrics

Verse

When will the day arrive
when the trumpets blare
and the seals are poured
and you return

when will the night descend
and the moon turn red
when the cries are heard
through long dark nights

CHORUS

I have heard the legends about you
Freeing your own
Saving your kin

I have heard the rumours of the wars
Nations in strife
Famine all about

Will you crush the serpent underfoot
Lion of Jude
Star of the dawn

Now I feel the days are drawing near
Are these strange words
The truth?

Verse

When will the beast arise
from the ocean's depths
dominating all
throughout the earth

will he impose his mark
and rule all the saints
will his false prophet
deceive the world

CHORUS

I have heard the legends about you
Freeing your own
Saving your kin

I have heard the rumours of the wars
Nations in strife
Famine about

Will you crush the serpent underfoot
Lion of Jude
Star of the dawn

Now I feel the days are drawing near
Are these strange words
The truth?

INTERLUDE

verse

And I awoke this day
with a violent start
for the walls they shook
to sounds of war

lifting my eyes upward
I see angels fly
holding seven plagues
through smoke-filled skies

all through the earth beneath
I feel mighty quakes
and the sun burns hot
while cities fall

the anointed one is near
seated on a horse
will he accept me
now that he's returned?

CHORUS

I have heard the legends about you
Freeing your own
Saving your kin

I have heard the rumours of the wars
Nations in strife
Famine all about

Will you crush the serpent underfoot
Lion of Jude
Star of the dawn

Now I feel the days are drawing near
Are these strange words
The truth?
