The Four Horsemen Lyrics

And when the lamb opened the
First seal,
I saw the first horse.
The horseman held a bow

Now when the lamb opened the
Second seal,
I saw the second horse
The horseman held his sword

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black,
The last one is a green

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black,
The last one is a green
And when the lamb opened the
Third seal,
I saw the third horse.
The horseman had a balance

Now when the lamb opened the fourth seal,
I saw the fourth horse.
The horseman was the pest

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black,
The last one is a green

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black,
The last one is a green

The leading horse is white
The second horse is red
The third one is a black,
The last one is a green

I really dig this song. Apperently it's about the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The white horsemen, wearing a crown and wielding a bow without arrows, stands for conquest. The red horsemen, wielding a sword, stands for war. the black one stands for famine and starvation. The last, white horsemen stands for death. The four powers and dangers of mankind...

Thanks Flying Dutchman! Cool info.

I'm sorry, the last horse should be pale / green.

@FlyingDutchman I also really dig this. :-) The dynamics in this song, man, too good! Demis singing very softly, then drums kick in (Thanks to Sideras FAT performance), and then the whole sound of this songs starts to shift. Hypnotic, psychedelic. Just how they managed that with 70's equipment is a mystery to me, but the result is incredible!

Oh, excuse me: The meaning of this song? Just christian/biblical stuff. :-) The end. The apocalypse.
