last rites - the pillar of fire lyrics
beatific vision
divinely intervened
i was sinking swiftly
into the sea of dreams
a voice called faintly
i almost didn’t hear
thoughts were overwhelmed
i succ-mbed to fear
the paraclete called
me from above
he was borne upon
the wings of a dove
i shielded my eye
from the blinding heat
the pillar of fire
swept me off my feet
the seals were broken
the bowls overturned
i saw as the earth
was thoroughly burned
the surface masked
by poisoned clouds
i heard the cries
of the dying crowds
the blood and fire
mingled with hail
the lands were thrashed
by endless gales
the cities sank
into the sea
i witnessed all
that is to be
a sign appeared
in the final days
a brilliant star
with seven rays
the trumpets blared
the new age began
and thus awaits
the flock of man
