Opening Introduction (Spoken part)And I heard as it were the noise of thunderOne of the four beasts sayingCome and see and I sawAnd behold a white horseThere's a man going around taking names and he decidesWho to free and who to blame every body won't be treatedQuite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching downWhen the man comes aroundThe hairs on your arm will stand upat the terror in eachSip and each sup will you partakeof that last offered cupOr disappear into the potter's groundWhen the man comes aroundHear the trumpets hear the pipersone hundred million angels singingMultitudes are marching to a big kettledrumVoices calling and voices cryingSome are born and some are dyingIts alpha and omegas kingdom comeAnd the whirlwind is in the thorn treesThe virgins are all trimming their wicksThe whirlwind is in the thorn treesIt's hard for thee to kick against the pricksTill Armageddon no shalam no shalomThen the father hen will call his chicken's homeThe wise man will bow down before the throne and at his feetThey will cast the golden crownsWhen the man comes aroundWhoever is unjust let him be unjust stillWhoever is righteous let him be righteous stillWhoever is filthy let him be filthy stillListen to the words long written downWhen the man comes aroundHear the trumpets hear the pipersone hundred million angels singingMultitudes are marching to a big kettledrumVoices calling and voices cryingSome are born and some are dyingIts alpha and omegas kingdom comeAnd the whirlwind is in the thorn treesThe virgins are all trimming their wicksThe whirlwind is in the thorn treesIt's hard for thee to kick against the pricksIn measured hundred weight and penny poundWhen the man comes aroundClose(Spoken part)And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beastsAnd I looked and behold, a pale horseAnd it's name it said on him was DeathAnd Hell followed with him.
