[Verse 1] When the fifth angel Blew his trumpet I saw a star Fall from heaven to earth And the star was given a key To the shaft of the bottomless pit [Verse 2] He opened the shaft of the pit To smoke rose like The smoke of a great furnace And the sun and the air Were darkened with the smoke from the shaft [Chorus 1] And they were told not to harm anyone Not to harm the grass Or any plant or any tree But to do worse Oh yeah [Verse 3] From the smoke came locusts for the people On the earth and they were given power Like the power of scorpions They were told not to harm the plants [Chorus 2] As I take a pause to remember where I was The gasp of air I breathe is getting contaminated The creatures lurking in the shaft repeating Mercy And oh the scorpions The worst ones The demons tortured by the way I breathe on this dusty air [Verse 4] In appearance The locusts were like horses Prepared for battle On their heads were what looked like Crowns of gold Their faces were like human faces Their hair like women's hair Their teeth like lions' teeth They had scales like iron breastplates And the noise of their wings was Like the noise of many chariots [Bridge] They have as king over them The angel of the pit realm His name in Hebrew is Abaddon And in Greek he is called Apollyon The first woe has passed Behold two woes Are still to come
