And I heard as it were
the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying
'Come and see and I saw
and behold a white horse
There's a man goin' 'round
takin' names
And he decides who to free
and who to blame
Everybody won't be treated
all the same
There'll be a golden ladder
reachin' down
When the man comes around
The hairs on your arm
will stand up
At the terror in each sip
and in each sup
Will you partake of that
last offered cup
Or disappear into
the potter's ground
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets
hear the pipers
One hundred million
angels singin'
Multitudes are marchin'
to the big kettle drum
Voices callin' voices cryin'
Some are born
and some are dyin'
It's alpha and
omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind
is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all
trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in
the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick
against the pricks
Till Armageddon
no shalam no shalom
Then the father hen
will call his chickens home
The wise men will
bow down before the throne
And at his feet they'll cast
their golden crowns
When the man comes around
Whoever is unjust
let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous
let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy
let him be filthy still
Listen to the words
long written down
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets
hear the pipers
One hundred million
angels singin'
Multitudes are marchin'
to the big kettle drum
Voices callin' voices cryin'
Some are born
and some are dyin'
It's alpha and omega's
kingdom come
And the whirlwind
is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all
trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in
the thorn trees
It's hard for thee
to kick against the pricks
In measured hundredweight
and penny pounds
When the man comes around
And I heard a voice
in the midst of the
four beasts
And I looked and behold
a pale horse and his name
that sat on him was Death
and **** followed with him
