 The year was 1844 and something was astir
 Because the plucky Millerites thought big things would occur
 But when they woke the morning of October 23
 They all were disappointed and the cause was clear to see
 
 The flock had played the numbers game and got the math all wrong
 And now two cent’ries later we remember with this song
 That if you need a certain way to flee the coming wrath
 Then get a guy who knows his stuff before you do the math
 
 Or better yet don’t set a date for when things should occur
 And don’t tell anyone your thoughts no matter if you’re sure
 Oh spare a thought for Miller while remembering his plight
 For it was he who led the flock that cold October night
 
 The legacy he left behind still haunts us to this day
 Though many wish the numbers thing would simply go away
 For now instead of saying that the earth was being cleansed
 We got the funny notion that the Judgment had commenced
 
 Initiated by the King’s decree, 457 starting
 Then add in seven decades to the true prophetic charting
 Subtract 490 from 2 thousand and 3 hundred
 Which takes you right up to the end of days divinely numbered
 
 Oh yes, of course, how silly that we never saw before…
 Investigative Judgment starts in 1844
 For if you know prophetically a day is like a year
 The Sanctuary Doctrine, then, quite readily appears
 
 And with the Prophet’s blessing we are certain that it’s true
 Though other Bible scholars still don’t have the slightest clue
 Which means that it’s our duty to proclaim it to the rest
 To prove that we’re the Remnant whose theology is best.
