The 4th Horseman

And when he had opened the fourth seal

The prelude to the end of time

I heard the voice of an animal, saying: Come and see!

I looked and couldn’t believe in my eyes!

Behold a pale horse

And the knight who sat on it

Was called by death

By those from hell who followed him

I looked and on a great earthquake

The Sun became black and the Moon became as blood

The stars of heaven fell unto the earth

While bodies tumbled devoid of life

As torn leaves of your trees by a strong wind

He was given power to kill

A quarter of the whole

With war, famine, pestilence

And with the beasts of the earth

And the heaven departed as a scroll when closed

And every mountain and island was removed from this place

And kings, lords or chiefs of the earth

Large, rich, tribunes and powerful

And every servant and free man hid

In the caves and in the rocks of the mountains

And the few who could hear

Had no words

Those who saw did not see what was upon us

Had no words

Hiding the face of him that seated on the throne of the lord

Who claimed their part by right
