    a day of darkness(A) and gloom,(B)
    a day of clouds(C) and blackness.(D)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
    a large and mighty army(E) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(F)
    nor ever will be in ages to come.

Before them fire(G) devours,

    nothing escapes them.
They have the appearance of horses;(J)
    they gallop along like cavalry.
