In force the four Horsemen come
upon their mighty steeds
as told in Revelations
a world in chains they come to free.
In might and power they thunder down
those who turned their backs will shake
as earth becomes a wasteland
where are left the sinner and the snake.
Those who lived in faith and love
will be held within God's hands
eternally in Paradise
just as He had planned.
All along the choice has been our very own to make
let each of us ask if our choice is right or a mistake,
for when He finally does come, the rule of Satan He will surely break.
