Apocalypse Now
It is now 'The End Of Days'
Don't look at us, avert your gaze
We four, beyond all time and space
bring judgement to this sorry place
An icy hand, your heart, it grips
Behold 'The Horsemen of the Apocalypse'
So let me introduce to you
the four members of our crew
My name is Death, my horse is pale
You'll plead with me to no avail
As you are judged, so will you pay
No sinner will escape this day
With my scythe I'll reap your soul
for that's my one and only goal
Your punishment you know so well
You will be consigned to hell
My name is Famine, my horse is black
I'm the reason that food you lack
I'll smite your cattle and your goats
and wither all your wheat and oats
I'll dry your rivers and your brooks
as foretold in Revelation's books
I'll blight your fields of golden maize
because this is 'The End Of Days'
I am Pestilence and my horse is white
Unlike Famine it's YOU I'll blight
I'll visit on you plague and disease
Bacteria will bring you to your knees
Bubonic Plague will crack your skin
'gainst my infestations you can't win
And to finally seal your fate
A harmless virus, I'll mutate
And here am I on my blood red horse
My name? Why, it's War, of course
Along with Pestilence and his infections
I bring you war and insurrections
I'm in all the bombs you drop
and like the others I'll not stop
until your world is burnt to ashes
and civilisation around you crashes
So now's the time and here's the place
It's judgement for the human race
Flee in panic, you can't hide
for we are riding out world wide
MY NAME IS SATAN, THIS IS MY TIME
I'M HERE TO PUNISH EVERY CRIME
THESE INCARNATIONS DO MY BIDDING
EARTH, OF ALL SINNERS, I'LL BE RIDDING
GO, YE GOOD SOULS, TO THE "RAPTURE"
THOSE REMAINING I WILL CAPTURE
AND NOW FOR ALL ETERNITY
COME ALL YE SINNERS AND BURN WITH ME
