VIII [Studio version]

When the Lamb opened the last seal I saw seven angels stand before God And to them were given seven trumpets Another angel came with a golden censer The smoke of the incense Together with the prayers of all the saints Went up from his hand Then the angel filled the censer with fire And hurled it on the earth And there came peals of thunder, rumblings, Flashes of lightning and an earthquake Then the first angel sounded his trumpet Hail and fire fell mixed with blood And a third of the earth burned The second angel sounded his trumpet Something huge was thrown into the sea And a third of the sea turned into blood The third angel sounded his trumpet A great star fell from the sky And a third of the waters turned bitter The fourth angel sounded his trumpet A third of the sun, of the moon and of the stars turned dark And a third of the day and of the night was without light Woe to the inhabitants of the earth Because of the trumpet blasts About to be sounded by the other three angels!
