The Great White Throne
Revelation · Acousmatic
[Refrain]
The books are opened.
The dead, small and great, stand.
What was hidden gives account
before the great white throne.
[Verse 1]
An angel descends with key and chain,
binds the dragon for a thousand years,
shuts and seals the bottomless pit.
Thrones receive the faithful witnesses;
they live and reign with Christ.
Blessed and holy in the first resurrection,
the second death has no power over them.
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
When the thousand years are finished,
Satan is loosed to deceive the nations.
Gog and Magog encircle the beloved city;
fire from God descends and devours them.
The devil is cast into the lake of fire,
where beast and false prophet remain.
[Verse 3]
Then the throne appears, great and white.
Earth and heaven flee from his face.
The sea gives up its dead;
Death and Hell deliver theirs.
Each is judged from the written works,
and another book,the book of life.
[Breakdown]
Death and Hell enter the lake of fire.
This is the second death.
Whoever is not found written in the book of life
is cast into that lake.
[Outro]
No hiding place remains.
The books are opened.
