70AD

Intro – Ominous low drones / slow chug

Stone against stone — the walls quake

Portents in the sky — blood and fire

The days foretold — now at hand

The covenant’s curse — unleashed

Verse 1

City of the King — turned against the throne

Blood fills the streets — brother slays brother

Roman eagle — shadows the sun

The days of vengeance — all fulfilled

Instrumental – Tremolo-picked blast beat section

Pre-Chorus

Flee to the mountains — judgment falls

Temple forsaken — glory departs

The Son enthroned — in clouds of wrath

Kingdom taken — given to the meek

Chorus

Jerusalem fallen — the old world burns

The law’s end — the age made new

Seventy years — sealed and done

Christ reigns — the nations bow

Instrumental – Slam riff / half-time chugs

Verse 2

Zealot rage — devours its own

Famine consumes — mother and child

The sanctuary burns — veil long torn

Not one stone — left on another

Instrumental – Blast beat frenzy with dissonant tremolo

Bridge

The last trumpet — not for the dead alone

But for the end of the age

The kingdom come — not in brick and stone

But in Spirit and truth — forever

Chorus – Repeat with more intensity

Jerusalem fallen — the old world burns

The law’s end — the age made new

Seventy years — sealed and done

Christ reigns — the nations bow

Outro – Slow, crushing slam

The blood of the prophets — avenged in one generation

The Lamb enthroned — His reign without end
