Last Silence Before Eternity

So quiet
The sound of waiting as the world is pending
How late
What will come before the day is ending.

Silence…captured by this silence
As we bide Your guidance
Let the nations know
Silence…strike down their defiance
The sacred, God's alliance
Let Your whisper fill their hate with grace.

All signs
Seven cachets numbered, now all broken
Foretells
Seven were the prophesies once spoken.

See the incense rising
With prayers from all the saints
The censer filled with fire
To be thrown to earth like thunder.

Silence…captured by this silence
As we bide Your guidance
Let the nations know
Silence…strike down their defiance
The sacred, God's alliance
Let Your whisper fill their hate with grace.

Sorrow, there will be no sorrow
There's a new tomorrow
Tears, they will be wiped away
See them, saved from tribulation
Hear their exaltation
The voices from a thousand souls.
