Behold The Pale Horse

Spoken Intro

And when the Lamb opened the first seal,

I heard thunder say, “Come and see.”

And four riders came forth from the dust of the earth…

each one carrying the weight of the end of days.

⸻

Verse 1

I saw a rider dressed in white

With a crown upon his head

Holding high a conqueror’s bow

Where the nations soon would tread

Kingdoms bent before his path

Empires felt his force

The first seal broke across the sky

And the world changed course

⸻

Verse 2

Then a horse the color of blood

Came tearing through the land

Peace was taken from the earth

By the sword inside his hand

Brother rising against brother

Steel beneath the sun

The drums of war were beating loud

And the killing had begun

⸻

Chorus

Behold the pale horse

Riding through the storm

When the trumpets cry

And the saints are reborn

Behold the pale horse

When the sky runs red

Every soul will answer

For the life they led

⸻

Verse 3

Then a rider dressed in black

Held a scale inside his hand

Bread was weighed like grains of gold

Hunger walked the land

“A measure of wheat for a penny,” cried

A voice from heaven’s door

But the poor were left with empty hands

While the rich still wanted more

⸻

Verse 4

Then I looked and fear ran cold

Through the marrow of my bones

For a pale horse crossed the hill

Like a shadow on the stones

Death was riding slow and still

And Hell walked close behind

And a fourth of earth was claimed that day

By the judgment of mankind

⸻

Bridge

The sun went black like sackcloth cloth

The moon turned red as blood

Stars fell down from heaven’s gate

Like figs in a shaken flood

Kings cried out to mountains high

“Let the rocks fall down on us!”

For the Lamb had come to judge the earth

From the throne of God above

⸻

Final Chorus

Behold the pale horse

When the end draws near

And the trumpet sounds

For every soul to hear

Behold the pale horse

When the last seal breaks

And the King of Kings

Returns for heaven’s sake

Final Verse – The True White Horse (Revelation 19)

Then the sky split wide with fire

And a rider filled the light

On a white horse called Faithful, True

Coming down to claim His right

Eyes like flames and crowns untold

With a name no man could know

And a sword of truth from His mouth

Struck the kingdoms down below

Armies dressed in robes of white

Followed through the sky

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

When the final hour was nigh

⸻

Final Chorus

Behold the pale horse

For the end drew near

Through the famine, sword, and death

Every soul felt fear

But behold the white horse

When the heavens part

And the King returns in glory

To judge the human heart

Spoken Outro

And I saw heaven open…

And there before me was a white horse.

And He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True…

and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

His eyes burned like fire…

and upon His head were many crowns.

The armies of heaven followed Him…

riding white horses through the sky.

And from His mouth came a sharp sword

to strike the nations of the earth…
