Revelations: The Four / The Pale Rider

Is a VERY Rough Draft... an part of a bigger story... No chords written yet...  

Revelations
Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to Saint John the Evangelist at 6:1-8.

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come and see!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!"

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hell was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.


[size=3]The Four[/size]
In a voice that sounds like thunder, The living creatures said “come and see”,
Rising forth from the four corners, the horsemen ride on colored steeds,
Obeying the voice of the Master, riding out they sing
“Glory to GOD, Hallowed be thy name;”
“The Four seals, opened by the Lamb”
“Bringing forth terror and justice, Unknown since the reign of man”
“His is the truth, accept faith, we will devour, we ride alone”


The Pale Rider

The prophecy fulfilled, The Pale Rider Is Revealed;
I walked the sands of time…  I always live and die;
But do you believe in Love… I too have Loved;
It always brings me here;
I set aside my own will… in faith of his kingdom come be fulfilled;
For the Greater good of GOD… I fought his Holy wars Loyally;
I shed blood for his power and His Glory;

He took her from me… I prayed for her soul… I prayed for her peace;
Can you tell me what war is… Can you tell me what Love is;
What is life dammed eternally… How is this reward… I served you Loyally;
This faith I defy… In the blood lies the life;
The House of Drăculești brings forth the Dragon king;

In this war I ride alone…Red blood flows, forever taking peace away from the thrones;
He took her from me… With all of the darkness I avenge… He took her from me;
Feasting on blood from the children of light… Bodies hang in the streets from the doors;

I am the dragon of wars; I am the dragon of flames… the blood is the life…
Hunger fills the street as light turns to black… old and young go with nothing to eat…
Living for love and dying in hate… My soul is forever stained and walks alone;
My followers are near… My churches will spread… My kingdom is here;
Much Power is given me… I am your inner fear… Death and Hell follows near;
