The Four Horsemen

Four horses stand and wait 
For the Lord to open the gate 
To allow the first throughout the last 
To carry out our Lord's wrath 

The First One's coat, white as snow 
The rider waits to hear the 'GO' 
His job to conquer, at his desire, 
He would send many to the fire. 

The second horse, bright and red, 
Takes peace from Earth and causes dread.
He's given a sword, to cause each man, 
To take lives as countless as sand. 

Now the third horse, black as night 
Is ready for his awesome flight. 
To him a scale and power is giv'n 
To ration food of whomever is liv'n 

The fourth servant, pale as ever 
His job so horrid, to make you quiver 
His purpose to cause three-fourths the earth 
To sing a solemn sorrowful dearth 

All four are restless, held back by power, 
Awaiting judgement and the fire; 
His jealous wrath of sins untold 
As their story does unfold 

The white mare turns his head to hear 
The Lambs command echo through the air 
 "Now’s the time to loose the Fury, 
These men forewarned, rebel unduly!
