Behold this city, wrought by human hands Forty days and it should all be gone Against all justice, Nineveh stands A blemish on the face of a vengeful God This truth has burned my soul since the coming of His word That repentance would preclude His holy plan My fury swells at compassion so absurd I reject this grace, prophecy be damned I went my own way (carve my path out of the night) Fleeing on the waves (occultation from Your sight) Driven back, your storm took hold of me I could not escape Hopelessness I gave (countdown to catastrophe) To a city depraved (paradigm iniquity) Terrified, they turned their backs on me Crying to be saved Execution stayed (contrition annulling wrath) By this mockery of faith (circumvented aftermath) Why should You defile Your character With this act of grace? I won't be Your slave (power and pity at Your whim) I am not afraid (slay me now instead of them) Let Your blazing light fall down on me I'll dwell in the shade Wretched man, is it your place to twitch and writhe in anger? Who made you the arbiter of damnation and mercy? Ever hope remains for those who abdicate their evil Condemnation falls upon what is, but not what must be Shade you tended not became delight until abated Raging at the loss of this ephemeral provision I have watched the rise and fall of all I have created How your heart would burst were it reopened to this vision
