Last Day Witnesses
The Altar too
Abandon the outer courts
Let the faithless destroy
Justice will come
Power to Heaven's Witnesses
They are two
Clothed in sackcloth
Let them prophecy
For 1260 dread-filled days
Fire spews from their mouths
Devouring their enemies
Shut up the skies
Stop the rain
Turn the waters into blood
Strike the earth with plagues
Then the beast came
Death came
Left their bodies to rot
Men scoffed . . . celebrate
Shame to the tribes of all the nations
Then God came
Resurrection came
Terror struck the earth
Heaven's Witnesses lived
God called . . . sent a cloud
And the two were no more
Earth shook
The city collapsed
Seven thousand dead
The second woe passed
