[Verse 3]
[D]As the book was opened breaking
seal after seal
There was a mighty rumbling
like a chariot wheel
John said, "Let me tell
ye just what I see
Beasts began to rise up out of the sea
Four hundred twenty elders,
well, they're singing a song
As God stepped out from heaven
just to right all wrong"

[Verse 5]
[D]God called out to Gabriel,
go blow your mighty sound
And wake the living nations
all beneath the ground
With one foot on the mountain
and the other in the sea
Gabe's trumpet beat like thunder
as he set the nations free
The mountain it did shutter and
the sea began to swell
And with one mighty blast
Gabe swept the gates of hell

[Verse 6]
Tell me [D]who is that writing? (My Lord,

[Verse 7]
[D]God snapped out the sun like
a candle in the wind
The moon began to drip in blood
The trees began to bend
God cried to the sinners come
all ye under me
'Cause I'm gonna set all
the righteous free

[Verse 8]
The dead [D]is gonna rise
The dumb is gonna talk
The lame is gonna pick
up his bed and walk
God said, "Let me tell you
You will never be free till
you love your brothers
As you say you love me"
