[Verse 1] Through the blackened sky he rides alone Cloaked in silence, flesh and bone Eyes like embers, cold as steel A crown of dust, a fate to seal Hooves that echo down the dead man's lane Bearing famine, fire, plague, and pain Scripture carved in shattered stone He comes to reap what we have sown [Chorus] He is the end, the final breath The shadowed hand, the ghost of death No mercy speaks behind his eyes The Fourth Horseman never lies [Verse 2] The sun turns black, the rivers dry A blood-red moon hangs in the sky Children weep and lovers part He rides to tear the world apart No blade can wound, no prayer can save He turns the cradle to the grave A whisper in the winds of doom He brings the silence to the room [Chorus] He is the end, the final breath The shadowed hand, the ghost of death No mercy speaks behind his eyes The Fourth Horseman never lies [Bridge] Can you feel the earth now shake? Can you hear the seals that break? One by one, the trumpets sound As heaven burns and falls to ground [Breakdown – whispered or growled] Pale is the steed, rider unknown Judgement rides, and you're alone... [Final Chorus – slower, heavier] He is the end, the final breath The shadowed hand, the ghost of death No mercy speaks behind his eyes The Fourth Horseman never dies
