lyrics

And upon the first horse
A crowned rider 'bout to conquer
Spreading plague and disease
In the name of God
On the second horse
War himself armed with a great sword
Taking peace from earth
Spilling mortal blood

Two seals open
Five more to come
Oh, the end has begun

And upon the third horse
With a pair of scales rides Famine
Keeping women and men
Away from wine and bread
And behold, oh dear
The fourth rider on his pale horse
Our fate is sealed
For his name is Death

The stars are falling
The moon's turning red
And the sun's turning black

Oh, the end's nigh, baby
This world's about to burn
Oh, can't you hear the trumpets?
There's nothing to be done
Armageddon, baby
And now the pit is open
Smoke's darkening the sun
Oh yeah, the end has come
