It came upon a midnight clear
A note to chill each mind with fear
Across the mountain and the plain
It whispered once and then again
Until it filled the land and sea
With a haunting symphony
The end of an eternity.
Ten thousand years have passed away
And now has dawned the Judgement Day
When all mens souls are filled with dread
At the mournful cries of the risen dead.
Ten billion backs bow down in prayer
A golden throne glides through the air
What if Satan's in the chair?
