As the book was opened breaking

seal after seal

There was a mighty rumbling

like a chariot wheel

John said, "Let me tell

ye just what I see

Beasts began to rise up out of the sea

Four hundred twenty elders,

well, they're singing a song

As God stepped out from heaven

just to right all wrong"

God called out to Gabriel,

go blow your mighty sound

And wake the living nations

all beneath the ground

With one foot on the mountain

and the other in the sea

Gabe's trumpet beat like thunder

as he set the nations free

The mountain it did shutter and

the sea began to swell

And with one mighty blast

Gabe swept the gates of hell
