The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The stable door swings open
And with speed he charges out.
His rider wears a crown.
He gives a thunderous shout.
His bow is strung,
His mission to fulfill,
And the white horse springs forward
To conquer and to kill.

A red steed comes behind him,
Chaos to create.
He holds a mighty sword
To bring about man’s fate.
He stirs up dissension,
Men kill each other.
They fall and they die,
But yet there is another.

The black horse of famine
Flies over the earth
His rider holds scales
To determine worth.
What will it cost
To buy your daily bread?
The world groans in hunger.
Millions are unfed.

The sound of the pale horse
Is heard in the street.
His hooves are clattering
With an incessant beat.
Famine, plague and death,
The wild beasts rise up,
A fourth of mankind drinks 
Wrath from judgment’s cup.

We go about our lives,
Not thinking this will come,
But the day is approaching,
And no one can run.
Satan may win the battle
But God will win the war
Every knee will bow to Him
And time will be no more.

From Revelation 6:1-7
