Watchman's Call

Lyrics

Nations wait in fear and dread
Asteroid blazes overhead
Earth splits, America trembles
New plagues force us to scramble

A grievous vision declared to me
The spoiler spoils, no peace to see
My heart pants, fear takes hold
The night of pleasure turns cold

Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, how long till light?
Morning comes, but so does dark
If you seek, then heed this mark

In the shadows, we hide and run
But there's hope when all seems done
A true light has come to earth
To all who believe, a new birth

Pain grips like a woman in labor
Dismayed by sights, no time to savor
The treacherous deal, the mighty fall
But listen close, hear the watchman's call

Watchman, what of the night?
Watchman, how long till light?
Morning comes, but so does dark
If you seek, then heed this mark

If you live in darkness, know
There's a light, a guiding glow
He came to shine on everyone
Believe, and be God's daughter or son

Watchman, what of the night?
Dawn breaks, Christ is the light
Though darkness lingers, hold on tight
His return will make all things right

Watchman says: "Night's nearly gone,
Christ is coming, it won't be long"
