The Day of Wrath

Wondrous sound the trumpet sings
Through the sepulchers it shall bring
All before my throne it shall bring
Day of wrath
Doom impends
David’s Word
Sibyl’s Blending
Earth in ash
Day of wrath, and doom impending
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending
The earth in ashes
All life is ending
What fear mankind shall rend
From the cosmos I shall descend
Upon my sentence shall all depend
Low you kneel with heart’s submission
Scattered ashes; your contrition
I’m lost in loathing
Your last condition
That day of tears and yearning
Death is struck and nature quaking
All of creation is awaking
To its judge an answer making
Answer
Making
With ancient powers I command… Command the sky
In a fire you all shall die
