The walls are high but the cracks run deep A lion's den where the wicked sleep Chariot's flash like lightning’s streak The city's roar now starts to weep Floodgates open justice pours Rivers rise to settle old scores Iron melts where the fire devours Nineveh falls in its final hours Your merchants glittered like stars in the sky But gold won't matter when rivers run dry Blood in the streets where the warriors lie Echoes of pride turn into a sigh God was slow but He's never blind A thousand warnings left behind The Lord is good but He draws the line The reckoning comes in His own time The earth quakes the mountains shakes Every stronghold starts to break Who can stand when His wrath arrives Patience runs but the truth survives Nineveh cries but the judgment’s near Justice thunders and the skies clear The book of Nahum Clouds roll heavy they crack like a whip Justice ain't quiet it don't let you slip Mountains quake rivers run red Truth don't sleep it haunts the bed You built your throne on sinking sand Promises crumble in your hand Kings and liars can't outrun When the trumpet blows you face the sun Can you hear it can you feel it The reckoning's here no way to conceal it Walls of gold can't stop the flood Greed soaked robes still stain with blood Your power's paper in a burning wind The fire's lit it'll find your sin The lion roared but his teeth are gone Pride's a truth no one sings for long Warnings carved in the lightning’s flash Repent or fall in the coming crash Unshaken ground it's coming down You can't hide when the heavens frown Unshaken ground it's breaking through The weight of wrong comes back to you The book of Nahum Storm clouds roll like a battle cry Mountains tremble rivers run dry The Lord's in the whirlwind His fire burns high Who can stand when He walks the sky The earth quakes under His heavy hand Nations crumble kingdoms dread Justice flows where the wicked bled No hiding place when the truth is said Shields of silver swords of flame Enemies scatter at His name Their walls will fall their pride's to blame Their empire's ash their power shame The lion's den now cold and bare Their roars silenced none to spare The oppressed rise the chains won't wear Freedom's call is in the air He sees the tears He hears the cries No evil act escapes His eyes The tables turn the truth won't die The righteous lift their banner high God's justice rains it don't delay Every wrong He rights someday Vengeance comes the debts are paid The judge of all won't turn away The book of Nahum
