The First Seal

Lyrics

The flags are still waving on the peace treaties.

The news is still talking about the new age of peace.

But there is something coming over the horizon,

Something with a bow but no arrows.

I see a powerful figure on a white horse,

His crown glinting in the false sunlight.

He looks like a hero to the crowds,

But there's a coldness in his eyes.

Soldiers are standing at attention,

Ready to march across the land.

They are moving so fast, unstoppable.

The first seal is broken.

A conqueror rides across the earth.

The promises of peace are now dust,

Scattered by the wind of war.

We thought the fighting was over,

But this is only the start.

This is the beginning of the pain.

We are watching the news and holding our breath.

Cities we knew are now burning.

Lines of tanks are rolling over the ground,

And the world leaders are silent now.

The one who promised us peace has gone to conquer,

And the people who followed him have nowhere to run.

Now I watched when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals,

and I heard one of the four living creatures say with a voice like thunder, 'Come!'

And I looked, and behold, a white horse!

And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him,

and he came out conquering, and to conquer.

The first seal is broken.

A conqueror rides across the earth.

The promises of peace are now dust,

Scattered by the wind of war.

We thought the fighting was over,

But this is only the start.

This is the beginning of the pain.

And the conquering has begun...
