Jezebel lyrics

Artist  : Recoil 
Song : Jezebel
 


Well stop, great God, stop there and listen,
listen to the story ‘bout Jezebel. Her sins
were so wicked Jehovah got angry, her soul went
leapin’ and jumpin’ into Hell. Way back
yonder in the olden days, John told Jezebel to
borrow her ways, said her evil deeds had ruined
the land and repent for the kingdom of God was at
hand. She got mad at John ‘cause he told her
‘bout the gospel, told her servants to boil him
in oil. Well they tell me God looked from the
windows of the heavens, spoke one word and the
oil wouldn’t boil. He raised his hand, creation
trembled, stamped his feet and time stood still,
raised his voice, looked down and thundered
“John! Go do my will." You got to go to
judgment, stand trial. Then they tell me John
moved through the power of the gospel, told
Jezebel her time was nigh. On the book of life,
her days were ended, her time run out and she had
to die. Well they tell me God walked his footsteps
thunderin’, he moved his head and his eyes
flashed fire, clapped his hands and death come
jumpin’, Jehovah was angry, somebody had to
die. You got to go to judgment, stand trial. Then
Death come knockin’ on Jezebel’s door and said
“Come on woman ain’t you ready to go? Of your
evil deeds God’s done got tired, you got to go
to judgment, stand trial." Then Death come
leapin’ she jumped into Hell, great God
Almighty I heard them tell. Nine days she lay in
Jerusalem’s streets, her flesh was too filthy
for the dogs to eat. You got to go to judgment,
stand trial. “Jezebel, mind God’s talking,
says he’s tired of your evil ways. You got to
go to judgment, stand trial."
