And when he had opened the fourth seal
The prelude to the end of time
I heard the voice of an animal, saying: Come and see!
I looked and couldn’t believe in my eyes!
Behold a pale horse
And the knight who sat on it
Was called by death
By those from hell who followed him
I looked and on a great earthquake
The Sun became black and the Moon became as blood
The stars of heaven fell unto the earth
While bodies tumbled devoid of life
As torn leaves of your trees by a strong wind
He was given power to kill
A quarter of the whole
With war, famine, pestilence
And with the beasts of the earth
And the heaven departed as a scroll when closed
And every mountain and island was removed from this place
And kings, lords or chiefs of the earth
Large, rich, tribunes and powerful
And every servant and free man hid
In the caves and in the rocks of the mountains
And the few who could hear
Had no words
Those who saw did not see what was upon us
Had no words
Hiding the face of him that seated on the throne of the lord
Who claimed their part by right
