There's a World Fallin' Upon Us

can you hear him on white horse
whispering
kill the brother and earn the
kingdom
so many infatuated kings 
neither one man

horse for the man
horse for the man

there's a world fallin' upon us

all great narratives with eyes wide open
expecting darkness to reborn
by order of the red horse whisperer
they pulled uniforms out of the closet
weapons clatter
through fear requiring head bowed
again ribbons will be set to say
who merits to be human

there's a world fallin' upon us

crows are mocking 
black horse came to collect harvest
by innate turpitude
he's peeling layers of our humanity
can't you sense the decomposition

there's a world fallin' upon us

and
there is your kingdom crawling
under pale green horse
