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

C

There's a man goin' round takin' names

C

And he decides who to free and who to blame

C

Everybody won't be treated all the same

C Am

There'll be a golden ladder reaching down

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers

One hundred million angels singing

Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum

Voices calling, voices crying

Some are born and some of dying

It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

The whirlwind is in the thorn tree

And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns

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 Hell followed with him
