Nahum 2

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
