CHRISTIAN METAL: OLD TESTAMENT BOOK OF THE BIBLE: JOEL

LYRICS:
A storm of locusts darkens the skies,
The earth is barren, creation cries.
The Day of the Lord, a trumpet’s wail,
Judgment and fire through the nations prevail.

Fields are wasted, the harvest is gone,
The swarm devours from dusk 'til dawn.
The vine is stripped, the oil runs dry,
A land in mourning as the locusts fly.
Priests cry out, the altar is bare,
The people perish in despair.
A trumpet sounds, the call is clear,
Repent and tremble, the Lord is near.

The Spirit pours, the promise near
A day of hope beyond the fear
Through desolation, His mercy springs
A dawn of life through the King of kings
Rise! The Day of the Lord has come,
The earth will shake, the nations run.
Return! repent! the time is now!
Before the throne, every knee will bow!
Standards will not be lowered,
For this or the next.
DAY OF THE LORD!
The DAY OF THE LORD!

The earth quakes as the heavens grow black,
An army marches, no turning back.
Fire consumes and shadows fall,
The Day of the Lord will conquer all.
The nations tremble, the people weep,
The time has come to wake from sleep.
Return to God with hearts that burn,
For mercy waits to those who turn.

"I’ll pour out grace on every heart
From every tribe, My work will start
The sun will darken, the moon will fade
But in My name, salvation’s made"
Rise! The Day of the Lord has come,
The earth will shake, the nations run.
Return! repent! the time is now!
Before the throne, every knee will bow!
Standards will not be lowered,
For this or the next.
DAY OF THE LORD!
The DAY OF THE LORD!

The Lord relents, His anger fades,
The land restored, the ruin decayed.
His Spirit flows, on all it rains,
Dreams and visions, breaking chains.
The sun grows dark, the moon turns red,
Before His throne, the nations dread.

The trumpet fades, the storm retreats,
The Lord’s redemption is complete.
From desolation, His kingdom grows,
The Day of the Lord, where glory flows.

Rise! The Day of the Lord has come,
The earth will shake, the nations run.
Return! repent! the time is now!
Before the throne, every knee will bow!
Standards will not be lowered,
For this or the next.
DAY OF THE LORD!
The DAY OF THE LORD!
