Spoken...
AND I HEARD, AS IT WERE
THE NOISE OF THUNDER
ONE OF THE FOUR BEASTS SAYIN'
COME AND SEE, AND I SAW
AND BEHOLD, A WHITE HORSE
Sung...
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
FOR 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
TRIMMIN' THEIR WICKS
THE WHIRLWIND
IS IN THE THORN TREE
IT'S HARD FOR THEE TO KICK
AGAINST THE PRICKS
'TIL 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 CROWN
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
TRIMMIN' THEIR WICKS
THE WHIRLWIND
IS IN THE THORN TREE
IT'S HARD FOR THEE TO KICK
AGAINST THE PRICKS
IN MEASURED HUNDREDWEIGHT
AND PENNY POUND
WHEN THE MAN COMES AROUND
Spoken...
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 HELL FOLLOWED WITH HIM
