TEMPEST ON THE MOUNTAIN

There's a tempest on the mountain.
Something heavy coming down.
Creatures gathered at the water.
Forest birds don't make a sound.

There's a tempest on the mountain
in the valley down below.
Sinners wallow in their wasteland.
Nowhere left for them to go.

There's a tempest on the mountain.
God it seems is so unpleased.
Take your shelter in your faith now
for the Devil is released.

There's a tempest on the mountain.
Raise your hands and pray the Lord
will forgive you of your sins, now
as you reap your own reward.

There's a tempest on the mountain.
There's a fire down below.
May the rapture draw you upward,
lest to Hell is where you'll go.

You haven't been bothered by those door-knockers have you Allan ??

I am seldom bothered by knockers these days, Neville

'Seldom' is such an underused word these days. !

...exactly the point I was trying to make.
