And de moon will turn to blood
Language: English 
And de moon will turn to blood,
And de moon will turn to blood,
And de moon will turn to blood
In dat day — O-yoy, my soul!
And de moon will turn to blood in dat day.

And you’ll see de stars a-fallin’,
And you’ll see de stars a-fallin’,
And you’ll see de stars a-fallin’
In dat day — O-yoy, my soul!
And you’ll see de stars a-fallin’ in dat day.

And de world will be on fire,
And de world will be on fire,
And de world will be on fire
In dat day — O-yoy, my soul!
And de world will be on fire in dat day.

And you’ll hear de saints a-singin’,
And you’ll hear de saints a-singin’,
And you’ll hear de saints a-singin’
In dat day — O-yoy, my soul!
And you’ll hear de saints a-singin’ in dat day.
