Escape for thy life Look not behind thee The angel sees the hands of Lot His wife and daughters from the gate The mercy of the Lord drew near But judgment would no longer wait Across the plain they fled the walls With terror burning in their eyes The city thundered at their backs And fire gathered in the skies No shelter in the valley No turning toward the flame The warning stood between them And the ruin of the plain Run for your life Do not look back Fire is falling from the heavens Run for your life Do not look back The cities fall beneath the judgment When mercy pulls you from the dark Do not reach again for what must end Run for your life Do not look back Do not look back again Then the Lord rained fire from heaven And brimstone struck the cities down Camorra burned beside the plain While Sodom vanished in the sound The roofs gave way, the towers fell The streets became a furnace mouth The smoke climbed black against the dawn As ruin rolled from house to house She heard the world behind her roar She stopped between the fire and dawn She turned her face towards Sodom's flame And in that moment she was gone The salt climbed through her feet and hands Her breath and movement slowly stilled A pillar stood up on the road Where one command had been ignored Lot reached out, but could not save her His daughters cried and drew away The falling fire lit the salt And turned the darkness into day Run for your life Do not look back Fire is falling from the heavens Run for your life Do not look back No city stands above the judgment When mercy leads you from the dark Do not turn again toward the flame Run for your life Do not look back, remember Sodom's name That morning Abraham looked down The smoke rose like a furnace flame The cities vanished from the plain And nothing stood the same
