Behold the suffering unspeakable in death
And the abominations of the earth;
Its desolation turns,
And now there is no life in her
Behold the pale horse
With fire in its eyes, with murder its rides,
Behold the grave sword
It slays in violent horror, it preys in war
Behold the scales of famine tear the flesh of men,
And harvest all the bodies of the dead;
The lifeless continents
Are lined beneath the carcasses
Behold the pale horse
And death be not proud, and life be not found
Behold the plague comes,
And the haunting epidemic - infectious - has begun
Behold the horrifying evidence,
The sequence of prophetic events,
The escalation fate ascends,
The darkest hour lies ahead
Behold a pale horse
And hell follow thee; in darkness it feeds,
Behold, the unseen world
Of Hades arise burning in time
Behold, the fourth seal
Is broken; it is revealed
Behind the face of God;
In the silence of heaven concealed;
The seventh seal
