A giant mountain, all aflame, was thrown into the sea Creatures died and the ocean was turned red A blazing star just like a torch fell into the rivers and springs Poisoning all that drank from the bitter waters The sun was struck and the moon and stars turned dark A third of the day, and the night, was without light The pit of the abyss was unlocked and opened up Smoke rose out of it like from a great furnace When the seventh seal was opened, there was silence in heaven Followed by thunder, rumblings, lightning and earthquakes Hail and fire mixed with blood was hurled down on the ground A third of the Earth was burnt up, a third of the Mankind killed By the three plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone The sky and air were darkened by the ashes from below Locusts descended with tails and tormenting stings Their wings sounded like thundering hooves rushing into war Told to harm all without the seal on their foreheads Angels released by a voice from the great throne Riders came forth holding shields in many shades The number of mounted troops was two hundred million On horses with lion heads and tails like snakes When the seventh seal was opened, there was silence in heaven Followed by thunder, rumblings, lightning and earthquakes Hail and fire mixed with blood was hurled down on the ground A third of the Earth was burnt up and third of the Mankind killed By the three plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone When the seventh seal was opened, there was silence in heaven Followed by thunder, rumblings, lightning and earthquakes Hail and fire mixed with blood was hurled down on the ground A third of the Earth was burnt up and third of the Mankind killed By the three plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone
