WHEN THE FOURTH SEAL BREAKS (FIRST GATE / LAST GATE MIX)

[INTRO – EDEN / WATER / BIRDS] Before the grave, before blood knew soil, before a brother turned his hand into toil— there stood a gate no mortal eye could see. Not iron. Not stone. Obedience kept the key. [SERPENT – WHISPER] Ye shall not surely die. [Silence] [VERSE 1 – BOOM BAP BUILD] Fruit in the hand, choice in the chest, command on one side, desire on the rest. Eve took. Adam knew. Adam chose. Something unseen through creation broke. Sin came first like smoke through the seam. Shame came after, fear killed the dream. Blame found a tongue. Thorns found ground. And somewhere beyond them— Death heard the sound. [PRE-CHORUS] FIRST GATE OPEN— SIN WALKED IN. DEATH DIDN'T START WITH THE KNIFE OF CAIN. THE FIELD CAME LATER. THE ROOT WAS WITHIN. [CHORUS – DOOM METAL / CHOIR] WHEN THE FOURTH SEAL BREAKS— COME AND SEE! PALE HORSE RUNNING THROUGH HUMAN HISTORY! DEATH GOT A NAME! HELL FOLLOWS BEHIND! BUT EVEN THE GRAVE HAS A BORDER AND TIME! FIRST GATE BROKEN! LAST GATE BRIGHT! THE RIDER MAY COME— BUT THE LAMB STANDS HIGHER! [VERSE 2 – FUNERAL BLUES] Cain worked dirt like the dirt owed him blood. Abel kept sheep in the morning flood. One offering accepted. One face fell. Sin at the doorway— Cain knew it well. “Rule over it.” Clear as day. But anger learns patience when pride wants its way. Two brothers walked. Only one came home. First human blood cried out from the loam. [CHOIR – LOW] Brother... where is thy brother? [VERSE 3 – INDUSTRIAL TRAP] Now the story turns where Scripture does not— dark-fantasy fire inside the biblical plot. Abel wakes where no door has been. Faceless Death says: “You're the first one in.” Hooves in darkness. Pale hide glows. Future cries rise where no living man knows. Soldiers. Children. Kings on their knees. Every generation feeding cemeteries. Then Death says: There is a boundary to me. Even this kingdom will not always be. [DROP] [ABEL] Then death has an end? [DEATH] Everything created has a boundary. [BREAKDOWN – METAL] FIRST DEAD! FIRST BLOOD! FIRST GRAVE! FIRST FLOOD OF TEARS INTO EARTH FROM A MOTHER'S EYES— AND THE SERPENT STILL WHISPERS: “YOU DIDN'T REALLY DIE.” [VERSE 4 – DRUM & BASS] Ages roll. Empires rise. War puts new flags on the oldest lies. Greed in markets. Pride on thrones. Bitterness learning to live inside homes. Then— the promised Seed. The Lamb is slain. Innocent blood touches earth again. But this time Death's house shakes at the frame. The grave takes the Lamb— and cannot retain. [ORCHESTRA SURGE] Light through doors that never had doors. Death hears footsteps across its own floor. The mantle burns. The darkness knows: its throne still stands— but its sentence is closed. [CHOIR] THE GRAVE COULD NOT HOLD HIM! [VERSE 5 – CINEMATIC RAP] Seven seals. Heaven waits. White horse. Red horse. Black horse gates. Then the Lamb reaches seal number four. And Abel hears what he heard before: blood in fields. Mothers cry. Hunger walks while the powerful dine. Pestilence moves. Armies roar. Old Cain's anger with a modern uniform. [SERPENT] Ride, Death. [ABEL] Not because the grave has won. I ride because the seal is broken. [FINAL CHORUS – EVERYTHING] WHEN THE FOURTH SEAL BREAKS— COME AND SEE! PALE HORSE FALLING LIKE A STORM TO THE EARTH BENEATH! HIS NAME IS DEATH! HELL FOLLOWS NEAR! BUT AUTHORITY GIVEN AIN'T AUTHORITY WITHOUT END HERE! FIRST GATE OPENED— SIN CAME THROUGH! DEATH FOLLOWED AFTER WHAT ADAM CHOSE TO DO! BUT THERE'S A LAST GATE DEATH CANNOT CROSS! NO GRAVE IN THE CITY! NO NIGHT! NO LOSS! [FINAL BREAKDOWN] SIN! [CHOIR] ENTERED! DEATH! [CHOIR] FOLLOWED! LAMB! [CHOIR] CONQUERED! GRAVE! [CHOIR] CONDEMNED! FOURTH RIDER! [CHOIR] BOUND BY COMMAND! LAST ENEMY! [CHOIR] WILL NOT FOREVER STAND! [OUTRO – GOSPEL / DISTANT HOOFBEATS] [ABEL] What am I when the mantle is gone? [Soft choir] A keeper of sheep. [ABEL] And Death? [CHOIR] The last enemy shall fall. [Hoofbeats fade] The first gate opened. Sin entered. Death followed. But the story ends with a gate Death cannot enter.
