The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

[Verse 1] Hear their approaching hoof beats, See the destruction in their wake, Know it is we who summoned them. Old evil we cannot break. [Verse 2] The poison of our hatred draws them, As does evil in our hearts, And the darkness in our souls, That kills hope before it starts. [Chorus] As we've sown, so now we reap, Division, hatred, ill will, Harvests that nourish our demons, And our better angels kill. [Verse 3] War, famine, pestilence, death, Trampling freedom, hope, and truth, Co-opting, mocking God's grace, Making monsters of our youth. [Verse 4] The tipping point--on the horizon. Soon there won’t be turning back, We embraced collective madness, Now our world’s fading to black. [Chorus] As we've sown, so now we reap, Division, hatred, ill will, Harvests that nourish our demons, And our better angels kill. [Verse 5] Hope fades fast in the horizon, From dust from the horsemen’s hoard, We can wail, await our fate, Or unsheathe our noble swords. [Verse 6] Not ones that were forged from steel, Horsemen bear those in steely gloves, Only stronger ones can break them, Honor, reason, truth, and love. [Outro ] Can’t unwind the clock, it ticks on, We’ll soon see their blood-red eyes, Unsheathe the swords that I speak of, Before life, hope, freedom dies.
