Then Bride stands dressed in white / Lamb calls her to the feast [6/6]

Eyes burn fire through the lie / crowns bend low to the Word [6/6]
Faithful and True rides in / Bride meets Christ in the air [6/6]

One hundred years from now / most here will sleep in dust [6/6]
Christ may split sky tonight / death may knock before dawn [6/6]
Charts split pre, mid and post / none can delay the grave [6/6]
Day of the Lord draws near / breath gives one hour to turn [6/6]

[THE GOSPEL / FINAL VERDICT]
