[Trumpet Verse]
Silence in heaven, then incense arose;
Fire from the altar was cast below.
Hail mixed with blood burned tree and field;
A mountain of flame struck sea unsealed.
Wormwood poisoned the river and spring;
Sun, moon, and stars lost part of their gleam.
Woe crossed the earth when the abyss was opened;
Armies advanced like a terror-filled dream.
[Refrain]
The dragon and the beasts
May war against the saints.
The dragon and the beasts
May counterfeit and reign.
Yet heaven keeps the names
No empire can erase;
The Lamb stands upon Zion,
And truth outlives the beast.
[Verse 2]
Two witnesses prophesied clothed in sackcloth,
Were slain in the city, then raised in the sight.
The seventh trumpet announced the great kingdom:
The world's rule belongs to the Lord and His Christ.
A woman clothed with sun fled the dragon;
Michael cast the accuser down.
The sea beast rose with blasphemous power;
The earth beast enforced its mark and crown.
[Chorus]
Here is the patience of the saints,
Who keep command and faith.
Babylon's wine will lose its sweetness;
The sickle waits beneath.
The Son of Man sits on the cloud;
The harvest hour arrives.
The dragon and the beasts have time,
But not eternal life.
[Final Refrain]
The Lamb stands upon Zion,
And one hundred forty-four thousand sing.
