LYRICS

Measure the temple, the altar, the door
The worshippers bowing, but leave out the court
The nations will trample it 42 months
Bathed in the tears of the worshipping ones
Bathed in the tears of the worshipping ones

Olive trees, lampstands bearing the light
When they end their story, the beast ends their lives
They die at the hand of this beast from the pit
And Egypt and Sodom take pleasure in it
And Egypt and Sodom take pleasure in it

Chorus:

​

But nobody laughs when God’s very breath
Brings those two witnesses back from the dead
Nobody laughs about crumbling walls
When the city falls
Nobody laughs at a powerful God
Every knee will bow
I just pray from the depths of my heart that
No one is laughing now

Twelve hundred sixty years given to them
They both preach their hearts out
Then come to their end
But three and a half years later they stand
Earthquake and terror come over the land

Chorus

And live again, you prophets who have died
We know you have ever spoken truth
You’ve pointed us
To our Jesus, crucified
So we stand on you, we stand on you

Chorus
