Pale Rider

I looked and saw a pale horse ride

No saddle no reins no place to hide

Its shadow stretched long across the land

The rider was death with an open hand

Hades whispered close behind

Hungry winds began to grind

Kill with famine kill with plague

The earth cracked open the heavens begged

Kill with famine kill with plague

A pale horse gallops through the haze

The sun turned black the rivers ran dry

Flames licked the sky while the people cried

No mercy no end no way to run

The clock struck twelve and the world was done

Four winds howl four corners break

What’s left to lose what’s left to take

No savior no light no guiding spark

Only shadows riding through the dark

Kill with famine kill with plague

The earth cracked open the heavens begged

Kill with famine kill with plague

A pale horse gallops through the haze
