The day of wrath, the day of wrath
That day be, that day be
Dissolved, dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
Dissolved, dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
The day of wrath, that day be
Dissolved the world would be in ashes
As foretold by David and the Sibyls
