Take Us Now

3 1 2
                                    

Dark they came
riders tall
With the right
to take us all

One White
One Red
One Black
One Pale

Horsemen riding
in storms of hail

Burning like sulfur
Stinging like bees
They came to drag us
to our knees

They came to conquer
and divide
Nobody's soul
can hope to hide

They stole the balance
of peace and bread
and broke the palaces
in our heads

We tried to flee
into the night
but death itself
has second sight

Now there's only
the ringing bell
that tolls as we bleed
to gather hell

Pray you fools
if you know how
The apocalypse comes
to take us now
