Songtext zu 'The Four Horsemen' von Sabbath Assembly

And when he had opened the fourth seal
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, come
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him
And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth
To kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death
And with the beasts of the earth
Revelation 6. 7, 8, read by A.W. tozer

In the way of the one
Lives the love of all
In the love of all
Dwells the heart of one

All forms are temporary
All forms are subject to pain
All forms are without reality

The hooves– the sound approaching
At last have now arrived
Their thunder like the breath of an angel

Descending, riding, gone

Humanity is doomed!
If we are part of humanity, identified with humanity
In sympathy with humanity, we are doomed
If we attempt to save humanity from its doom, we shall fail
Because humanity has chosen its doom
And has shown its unwillingness to reverse its choice
Satan rules now, for fear is master of the world
And soon shall come the time of the final end -- the judgment
And after the judgment, the devastation. And fear shall increase

Bow your head and shield your eyes
Bow your head and shield your eyes
For lo, I see before me a white horse
In power and glory is bursting forth

A great sign appeared in heaven
A woman clothed with the Sun, with the Moon under her feet
And a crown of twelve stars on her head
She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth
Then another sign appeared in heaven
An enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads
Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth
The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth
So that it might devour her child the moment he was born

Bow your head and shield your eyes
Bow your head and shield your eyes
The second seal is opened, a red horse
In fiery anger is bursting forth, is bursting forth
Through the darkness of the heavens

Be not blind! Know that the end must come
That the demon fear has triumphed over man, and man shall destroy himself
But go not into the darkness with him
For those who are not afraid there is light, the light of the lord Lucifer
Attend lord Lucifer!

Bow your head and shield your eyes
Bow your head and shield your eyes
The third seal is opened, a black horse
Of mighty presence is bursting forth, is bursting forth
Through the blackness of the heavens
And on his back a princely angel with scales in hand
Of power unbounded, is riding forth, is riding forth

And then, will you lie, a victim, cringing before the striding monster from the pit?
Will you succumb to Satan's test, and flee in helpless terror from the inexorable onslaught?
Or will you, with Satan himself, arise amidst the cataclysms?
Will you take the sword of defiance that Satan offers, to wield against the enemy, fear, that Satan sends to prove your strength?
Will you stand proud beside the great destroyer, and defy the devastation
Of the Armageddon?

Bow your head and shield your eyes
Bow your head and shield your eyes
The fourth seal is opened, a pale horse
Most dread creation is bursting forth, is bursting forth
Through the blackness of the heavens
And on his back, a faceless specter
With death beside him
And power unknown is riding forth, is riding forth
Through all eternity, to starve and tear asunder

The wrath of the lamb has come
The great spirit of the son
To heal the wounds that the conflict of the mind
And the pow’r of death brought to
The sacred land of the gods
