18/ THE ABYSS

The fifth angel sounded,
The fifth trumpet pounded,
And the star called Satan,
Cast a torment on the nation.
He received the key to the abyss,
God uses Satan’s foolishness,
To place intense pain on the earth,
Through the judgments of the locusts.
When Satan opened the abyss,
Which is called the bottomless pit,

Smoke rose from inside,
Then, dark came the sky,
The locusts went into the world,
And were given the power to torture,
but not given the power to kill,
God still limits Satan’s people.
The suffering of men was great,
But they did not repent in faith,
The Lord still offered love,
They prefer not to know God,

During the days of agony,
Men will seek death to be free,
But even that will not find them,
For their sin will exceed their minds.
The locusts looked like horses,
Prepared like military forces,
They wore crowns upon their heads,
and their tails had power to torment.
