Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

(Revelation 11:9,10)

---

In streets they lie, unburied, cold,
Two prophets bold, their story told.
For days the nations stand and stare,
No rest, no grave, no whispered prayer.

The world rejoices, gifts are shared,
As once-tormented hearts are spared.
Yet skies grow dark, a storm draws near,
A quiet pulse of dread and fear.
