Veni Domine - The Chronicle Of The Seven Seals lyrics

Then I saw in the right hand of him Who sat on the throne A scroll with writing on both sides And sealed with seven seals I heard a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" But no one in heaven or under the earth Could open the scroll or look inside I wept and I wept because no one was found Who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside Then I heard one of the elders say to me "Don't weep" See the Lion of the tribe of Judah The root of David has won He is able to open the scroll And its seven seals Then I saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain Standing in the center of the throne Encircled by four living creatures And the elders He had seven horns and seven eyes Which are the seven spirits of God Sent out into all the earth He came and took the scroll from The right hand of him who sat on the throne And when he had taken it The four living creatures and the elders Fell down before the Lamb Each one had a harp And they were holding golden bowls Full of incense Which are the prayers of the saints And they sang a new song I watched as the lamb opened the first of the seven seals Then I heard one of the four living creatures Say in a voice like thunder "Come" There before me was a white horse Its rider held a bow He was given a crown He rode out as a conqueror Bent on conquest Then another horse came out A fiery red one Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth To him was given a large sword And there before me was a black horse Its rider was holding a pair of scales Then I heard a voice among the four living creatures saying "A quart of wheat for a day's wages And do not damage the oil and the wine" There before me was a pale horse Its rider was named d**h And Hades followed close behind him They were given power Over a fourth of the earth to k** by sword Famine and plagues and by the wild beasts of the earth I saw those who had been slain because of the word of God And I heard them call out in a loud voice "How long Sovereign Lord holy and true Until you judge the earth and avenge our blood?" Then each of them was given a white robe And they were told to wait a little longer There was a great earthquake and the sun turned to black I saw the whole moon turn blood red And the stars in the sky fell down to the earth As drops from a tree when shaken by the wind The sky receded like a scroll And every mountain was removed from its place Then the kings of the earth I saw the rich I saw the mighty Every slave and every freeman hid in caves in the mountains "Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on The throne And from the wrath of the Lamb For the great day has come and who can stand?" I felt the silence in the sky There was a wonder in the air Because the numbers were complete The time had come when all the seals were broken All things I saw were like a dream There was angel dressed in white I saw the glory in his face He came and stood at the altar Then I could see in his hand A censer made of gold And much incense for offerings were given to him I saw the smoke from the incense rise up before the Lord Together with the prayers of the saints Prophecy - is spoken Prophecy - forever We're running out of time Prophecy - is calling Prophecy - for mankind You cannot run away Then the angel took the censer Filled it with the fire from the altar He raised his hand and hurled it on the earth With mighty peals of thunder I may see the coming king appear in majesty To proclaim his kingdom's coming Meanwhile at the world's dark end The nations raise their hands Waiting for the serpent to strike The seals are broken
