(chorus)
The Great God hath sent us signs,
In the sky we have heard uncommon noise,
In the heavens and have seen,
Heads fall down upon the earth.
(verse1)
It hath tell-tale tongues,
This casing air,
Will whisper the,
Horror everywhere.
(chorus)
The Great God hath sent us signs,
In the sky we have heard uncommon noise,
In the heavens and have seen,
Heads fall down upon the earth.
(verse2)
That walls us in, and,
Their wondering breath,
That clings to that ruth-
less deed of death.
(chorus)
The Great God hath sent us signs,
In the sky we have heard uncommon noise,
In the heavens and have seen,
Heads fall down upon the earth.
(verse3)
And a vengeful eye,
From glory tide,
Will open, to blast,
The parricide.
(chorus)
The Great God hath sent us signs,
In the sky we have heard uncommon noise,
In the heavens and have seen,
Heads fall down upon the earth.
In the heavens and have seen,
Heads fall down upon the earth.
