Analysis of MESSAGE FROM AN ALBATROSS
I am the albatross that flies over seven seas,
That hovers above the pinnacles of the waves.
The wind and turbulence flutter my wings,
Carry me far to pour His blessings
And utter a word of warning
That the colours of season are changing.
Listen!
In unison the heavenly herald angels
Crying their heart out behind the cloud,
Proclaiming the beginning
of the last awakening,
The trumpet sounds, “Repent, repent, repent!”
Turn back from the road of despair with no end.
Look up and see your Hope descent,
For the present has collided with the future,
For the time has come to unfold the rapture.
The meek sacrificed Lamb on the cross
Is coming back, roaring as a mighty Lion,
Galloping on a pure white horse,
Waving the banner of peace and salvation
Clasping the time and dimension
To finalise the trials and tribulations.
Welcome Him who comes to claim His redeemed
Whom He has paid in full with His sacred blood
Bow down, worship, raise praises
And receive the diadem of grace.
I am the albatross of the ancient mariner
Compel all to tell the Truth of the matter
That many men may have eternal glory,
That they may not slip into the fire of fury.
