Ring descending.
Fire from hell.
People naïve and happy,
'Till the hour fell.
(We thought "all is well"?)

Their tempers are rising,
Like the embers that blow.
But fire is coming,
To the valley below.
Neighbours, walking blind,
They're runnin' out of time!

The flames march on 'n on,
They sway and fly,
Over the saplings',
Wheezy cry.
Songs as they sway from side to side,
Oh the coming, of the big, red tide.

Oh, House of Hatred,
Dwelling of Doubt,
Hospice for the Helpless,
Our merciless metropolis,
In a valley facing Consuming fire,

The land is tinder-dry,
On an alter where you'll learn.
That if this land is your heart,
God pleads "it's your turn,"
To *light* this cauldron of,
What must be burned!

(guitar solo)

The stars have fallen.
Steeples destroyed.
As war is calling,
Out into the void,
Many men will die,
Leaving Truth for lies.

The world has taken,
Jezebel's hand.
She led their eyes away,
From God's Helping hand,
Our wounded to No Man's Land.

Captives to pleasures,
Humanity's loss of form,
And deadly yokes,
Stuck in our arms,
Leading us far, far from Home,
Unbenounced, into the blackness of the storm.

And you! Who triggered our alarm!
You, who sent His kids into a world of harm,
You're gonna wish ya had a milestone wrapped 'round yours!
And if you do not repent, your payback will be the worst!

The forests are burning,
So are our hearts,
For Christ to bring healing,
Perhaps through our words and guitars?
This is why we write.
You'll know what He'll burn, and He's coming back to make Life right!

Misrepresented horribly did they,
The God who loves you,
Who'll heal you today!
We're so sorry they stood in his way.
Whether by God's blood or a lake of fire,
These wrongs will be paid.
So leave, the past, behind.
It's okay.
And if the monsters come back,
All you gotta to do is pray!
