The Four Horsemen

And I saw the white horse, ridden by a man with bow and arrow

And he wore a golden crown and he rode a trail so narrow

And he went forth to conquer all the liars, thieves and cheaters;

All the weavers of illusion; all the bigots and mistreaters;

And the earth was shakin' like an old man's hand and the sun was black as mud;

And the oceans moved across the land and the moon became as blood

And I saw a red horse and a rider with a saber;

To take peace from all the earth, for destruction was his labor

And he rode out in anger to turn brother against brother;

With poison for the nations to make them all kill one another

And the stars of heaven fell to earth like the fruit of a tree that's shaken;

By an unkindly wind, to be ever more forsaken

And I saw the black horse and the rider with the balance;

To separate the works of man; his vices from his talents

A measure of wheat for a penny, three measures of barley in kind

To divide the one from the many, But hurt not the oil and wine

And the heavens parted like a scroll, when it is rolled together

And the mountains were moved out of place; Like a whirlwind blows a feather

And I saw a pale horse, and Death was riding on him

And Hell was right behind him, and no mortal man outshone him

The kings of the earth and the mighty men; The glorious and greedy

Hid themselves in the blackest hole, with the homeless and the needy

And some priests and some television preachers, laid down with the vile unholy

And some senators and movie stars

Shared a cave with the meek and lowly

And they cried to the mountains

Fall on us! And hide us from the face of Him

Fall on us! And hide us from the face

Face

Hide us from the face of Him

Fall on us! And hide us from the face of Him

Fall on us! And hide us from the face

Hide us from the face of Him
