40 YEARS from ALBUS MENDACIUM by Ritual Servant

(based on Jeremiah)
written by Patrick Best

intro

40 YEARS, prophesied to die by the sword
disaster of plague, famine and war
40 YEARS, false prophet's lies of comfort no more
not one would escape the destroyer

warnings of God's anger and wrath were foretold
slavery and ruin would begin to unfold
idol worship, curses and sin
the weeping prophet spoke again and again

for many years, blind eyes and deaf ears
40 years, blind eyes and deaf ears

40 YEARS, the Almighty has come to declare
whomever flees from terror befalls pit and snare
40 YEARS, all a blind eye and deaf ear
nations in ruin no allegiance and fear

warnings of God's anger and wrath were foretold
slavery and ruin would begin to unfold
idol worship, curses and sin
the weeping prophet spoke again and again

for many years, blind eyes and deaf ears
40 years, blind eyes and deaf ears

"In the days to come I shall restore"
"what once was will come again..."
"the years of punishment will be no more"
"for I will not completely destroy you..."

"declares the Lord"

"for the days are coming"
"...declares the Lord"

for many years - 40
blind eyes and deaf ears - 40
