[Verse 1]
Day of vengeance—fiery trumpet, heaven splits the dawn;
Edom's towers crumble, smoke where kings have gone.
Blood fills the sword; the valley drinks its due,
Palaces left desolate—stones whisper what is true.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the heavens roar—crowns roll into dust.
Nations bend and break; no refuge, no trust.
Stand, O earth—feel the coming call,
We lift our breath and watch the strongmen fall.
[Chorus]
Rise up, oh mighty Lord, Your thunder breaks the dark,
Streams turned to pitch and fire, flame writes Your mark.
Desert creatures and owls cry out in the night,
Edom’s name is spoken—Your sword reveals the right.
[Verse 2]
Streams turned to pitch; no shepherd, no vine to keep;
Jackals claim the courts—palaces lie asleep.
Desert creatures roam where princes once rode high,
Owls on ruined thresholds sing the nation's cry.
Blood on the banners—no more pomp, no more throne;
The nations scatter—ashes where seeds were sown.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the trumpet tense—judgment in the wind.
Every hidden counsel shown; each secret sin pinned.
Hold fast, O faithful—brace the cleansing flame,
For when the iron falls, only truth will claim its name.
[Chorus]
Rise up, oh mighty Lord, Your thunder breaks the dark,
Streams turned to pitch and fire, flame writes Your mark.
Desert creatures and owls cry out in the night,
Edom’s name is spoken—Your sword reveals the right.
[Bridge — Heavy Breakdown]
Leader: Day of vengeance—righteous and severe!
Choir (call): Vengeance and mercy—both are Yours!

Choir (call): Vengeance and mercy—both are Yours!
[Rhythmic Cadence — Band Hits]
(Drums hit — pause) — Lead: Hear the nations tremble.

[Breakdown — Call & Response]
Leader: Who shall stand when the trumpet calls?
Choir: Those who call, those who call!
Leader: Who will hide when the heavens fall?
Choir: The humble, the humble, gather to His wall.
(Choir repeats, building) — Vengeance and mercy—both are Yours!
(Choir repeats, louder) — Vengeance and mercy—both are Yours!
[Final Chorus — Variation]
Rise up, oh mighty Lord, Your thunder breaks the dark,
Yet mercy gathers those who call amid the stark.
Streams turned to pitch and fire—still grace will thread the night,
Edom’s ruin witnessed—yet the faithful find Your light.
[Outro]
So let the ruined hills sing and the wasted courts recall:
The Lord judges nations, and He redeems the small.
Vengeance and mercy—both are Yours, we cry;
In the wake of thunder, Your mercy holds the sky.
