And the fifth angel sounded
And I saw a star fall from heaven
Unto the earth and to him
Was given the key
Of the bottomless pit
And he opened the bottomless pit
And there arose a smoke
Out of the pit
As the smoke of a great furnace
And the sun and the air
Were darkened
By reason of the smoke of the pit
And there came out of the smoke
Locusts upon the earth
And unto them was given
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
And it was commanded them
That they should not hurt
The grass of the earth
Neither any green thing
Neither any tree
But only those men which have
Not the seal of God
On their foreheads
And to them it was given
That they should not kill them
But that they should be
Tormented five months
And their torment was as the
Torment of a scorpion
When he striketh a man
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
And in those days
Shall men seek death
And shall not find it
And shall desire to die
And death shall flee from them
And the shapes of the locusts
Were like unto horses
Prepared unto battle
And on their heads were as it were
Crowns like gold
And their faces were
As the faces of men
And they had hair
As the hair of women
And their teeth
Were as the teeth of lions
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
Power
As the scorpions of the earth
Have power
And they had breastplates
As it were breastplates of iron
And the sound of their wings was
As the sound of chariots of many
Horses running to battle
And they had tails
Like unto scorpions
And there were stings in their tails
And their power was to hurt men
Five months
