Second Thief - Pestilence lyrics

Demonic laughter rose from the cracks in the earth, Satan himself allowed a smile as he proclaimed "Rejoice my slaves for the lamb of God has been slain A new age has begun of pestilence and war!" Rising from hell's black the demons marched the earth Dark clouds descended on the earth Heaven's glory had been put out Jesus wept. Jesus died. As the world was swallowed the Father of this perfect Son Turned His face away disowning His own legacy Blood drenched the land flowing to the depths of hell From the wounds and the holes and the flesh and the bone The very earth shook as it vomited The skull a monument of victorious evil But with one final dying breath the Lamb would end this sacred war He pulled Himself up on His cross and heaved three final words IT IS FINISHED Satan was thrown back to his torment A knock was heard at the door Jesus Christ Himself claimed the key to the gates of Hell
