Machine Called Man - Pale Horse Lyrics

(behold the pale horse.
The man that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him)

We've broken the fourth seal, and created mass confusion
While the evil seize the day, the penitent seek absolution
Strode forth the bringer of destruction
Out of the darkness he rides and may god save your soul

He crept from the darkness
And said
Behold the scenery, that's only found in dreams
The fourth of four riders
As foretold
A quarter of the earth received, decimated by three
Sword plague and famine
Then with a wicked laugh… rode off on his pale horse

Now faced with a conquest, of violence, the fear's overwhelming
An era of judgment, and pestilence, the rider approaches
Witness the end of tribulation
Know only two will survive this night

He crept from the darkness
And said
Behold the scenery, that's only found in dreams
The fourth of four riders
As foretold
A quarter of the earth received, decimated by three
Sword plague and famine
Then with a wicked laugh… rode off on his pale horse

As he rode out of sight
His voice mockingly echoed
Know only two will survive
Then my blood ran cold

He crept from the darkness
And said
Behold the scenery, that's only found in dreams
The fourth of four riders
As foretold
A quarter of the earth received, decimated by three
Sword plague and famine
Then with a wicked laugh… rode off on his pale horse
