[00:02.79] "And I heard as it were the noise of thunder
[00:06.17]
[00:07.29] One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw
[00:11.76]
[00:12.33] And behold a white horse"
[00:14.63]
[00:25.89] There's a man going around taking names
[00:28.89]
[00:30.39] And he decides who to free and who to blame
[00:33.76]
[00:36.15] Everybody won't be treated all the same
[00:38.97]
[00:40.78] There will be a golden ladder reaching down
[00:43.65]
[00:47.09] When the man comes around
[00:48.78]
[00:53.21] The hairs on your arm will stand up
[00:56.24]
[00:58.17] At the terror in each sip and each sup
[01:01.30]
[01:03.37] Will you partake of that last offered cup
[01:06.24]
[01:08.24] Or disappear into the potter's ground
[01:10.80]
[01:14.36] When the man comes around?
[01:15.99]
[01:18.55] Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
[01:20.61]
[01:22.99] One hundred million angels singing
[01:25.42]
[01:28.24] Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
[01:32.36]
[01:34.43] Voices calling and voices crying
[01:36.80]
[01:39.36] Some are born and some are dying
[01:41.61]
[01:43.86] It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come
[01:47.11]
[01:48.67] And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
[01:52.55]
[01:54.30] The virgins are all trimming their wicks
[01:56.99]
[01:58.99] The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
[02:02.61]
[02:03.61] It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
[02:06.92]
[02:10.74] Until Armageddon, no shalam, no shalom
[02:14.24]
[02:16.18] Then the father hen will call his chickens home
[02:19.11]
[02:21.23] The wise man will bow down before the thorn
[02:23.86]
[02:26.17] And at his feet they will cast the golden crowns
[02:28.92]
[02:32.23] When the man comes around
[02:33.93]
[02:36.11] Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
[02:40.10]
[02:41.42] Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
[02:45.04]
[02:46.05] Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
[02:49.80]
[02:50.99] Listen to the words long written down
[02:53.36]
[02:56.74] When the man comes around
[02:58.36]
[03:00.86] Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
[03:03.04]
[03:05.29] One hundred million angels singing
[03:07.80]
[03:10.61] Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
[03:14.67]
[03:16.79] Voices calling and voices crying
[03:19.04]
[03:21.73] Some are born and some are dying
[03:23.80]
[03:26.23] It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come
[03:29.36]
[03:31.05] And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
[03:34.80]
[03:36.23] The virgins are all trimming their wicks
[03:39.17]
[03:41.05] The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
[03:44.54]
[03:45.92] It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
[03:48.98]
[03:50.85] In measured hundred weight and penny pound
[03:53.80]
[03:56.80] When the man comes around
[03:58.54]
[04:10.05] "And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
[04:12.92] And I looked and behold, a pale horse
[04:15.50]
[04:16.06] And his name that sat on him was Death
[04:18.24]
[04:19.38] And Hell followed with him."
