When the Seals Were Broken

When the Seals Were Broken [Spoken Intro] I have watched kingdoms rise. I have watched empires fall. But nothing in all my years... Prepared me for the day... The seals were broken. --- [Verse 1 – The First Seal: Conquest] The morning sky wore robes of white, A silent queen rode into sight. No battle cry, no reckless flame, Yet every kingdom knew her name. A crown of gold, a bow held high, She crossed the earth beneath still skies. The mighty knelt, the proud were shown— Some victories are claimed before they're won. --- [Pre-Chorus] One seal broken... The first rider came. --- [Chorus] When the seals were broken, The ancient road was called again. Four timeless queens were riding, As foretold since time began. The heavens watched in silence, The earth could only stand. When the seals were broken... No soul could turn them back. --- [Verse 2 – The Second Seal: War] The western clouds were burning red, The drums awoke, the banners spread. She drew no hatred from the heart, She simply let the masks depart. A crimson blade caught firelight's gleam, Like every forgotten soldier's dream. The world already forged its steel— She only showed what men conceal. --- [Pre-Chorus] Two seals broken... The second rider came. --- [Chorus] When the seals were broken, The ancient road was called again. Four timeless queens were riding, As foretold since time began. The mountains shook beneath them, The ravens filled the wind. When the seals were broken... No soul could turn them back. --- [Verse 3 – The Third Seal: Famine] Then harvest songs were heard no more, The fields lay quiet from shore to shore. She rode in black with measured grace, Old iron scales held in embrace. She never stole a single grain, Nor summoned drought nor begged for rain. She simply weighed what we had sown— And every empty table told its own. --- [Pre-Chorus] Three seals broken... The third rider came. --- [Chorus] When the seals were broken, The ancient road was called again. Four timeless queens were riding, As foretold since time began. The rivers whispered softly, The forests bowed their limbs. When the seals were broken... No soul could turn them back. --- [Bridge] Then came a silence deeper than the sea. No wind. No thunder. Only waiting... --- [Verse 4 – The Fourth Seal: Death] A pale queen crossed the fading light, Neither cruel nor taking delight. She bore no rage, she sought no throne, She walked the final road alone. Where every journey finds its end, She greeted stranger, king, and friend. No fear remained, no debt, no breath— Only the quiet grace of Death. --- [Final Chorus] When the seals were broken, The four rode side by side at last. The Crowned Empress. The Crimson Queen. The Lady of Empty Tables. The Last Queen on her pale path. Not born of hatred— Not servants of despair. But ancient promises fulfilled... When the seals were broken. --- [Outro] I did not witness the end of the world. I witnessed... The day the Horsewomen rode.
