Apocalyptic Riders Lyrics

Book of Revelation, Chapter 6.

1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and
I heard, as it
were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts
saying, Come and see.

2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat
on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth
conquering, and to
conquer.

4. And there went out another horse that was red: and
power was given unto
him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and
that they should
kill one another: and there was given unto him a great
sword.

5. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat
on him
had a pair of balances in his hand.

8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name
that sat on him was
Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given
unto them over
the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and
with hunger, and with
death, and with the beasts of the earth.

9. I saw under the altar the souls of
them that were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which
they held:

10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that
dwell on the
earth?

11. And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto
them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their
fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be
killed as they were,
should be fulfilled.

12. And, lo, there was a
great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth
of hair, and the
moon became as blood

14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is
rolled together; and every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and
the rich men, and the
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid
themselves
in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us,
and hide us from the
face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb:

17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who
shall be able to stand?
