Verse:
He broke the first, and the spirit said come see
White rider with bow and crown going forth conquering
They have eyes in the governments of every nation of the world
They do the planning and we watch it unfurl
Chorus:
Dominion, War, Famine and Demise
The colors and the sounds of the riders guise
Riding for centuries you can hear and see
The destruction brought forth on the Wings of Steed.
Verse:
He broke the second one, the spirit said come see
Red rider with sword. He'll remove the peace
If you dare resist them, they'll catch you in their snares
The more you wriggle, the more they squeeze. Its the state of world affairs.
Chorus:
Dominion, War, Famine and Demise
Are the colors and sounds of the riders guise
Riding for centuries you can still hear and see
The destruction brought forth on the Wings of Steed.
Verse:
When he broke the third seal the spirit said come look
Black rider with scales and a quart of wheat for a days work (don't hurt the wine and oil)
They control the marketplace and can break you in a flash
They can afford lawyers forever with the cash you pay in tax
Chorus:
Dominion, War, Famine and Demise
The color and sound of the riders guise
Riding for centuries you can still hear and see
The destruction brought forth on the Wings of Steed.
Verse:
He broke the fourth, and the spirit said come see
A pale green rider goes forth and Death is his name
Contracted to kill by sword, hunger, and beasts of the earth.
The only way out of this mess, is belief in the Son of the virgin birth.
Chorus:
Dominion, War, Famine and Demise
The color and sound of the riders guise
Riding for centuries you can still hear and see
The destruction brought forth on the Wings of Steed.
I hear ‘em ridin.
