Thundering hooves pound in the distance….
M’lord, look yonder, tell me what you see?
Is that a white horse comes towards me?
And on its back a rider – a bow, a crown;
His name – Conquest.
M’Lord, look yonder, tell me what you see?
Is that a red horse comes towards me?
And on its back a rider carries a Great Sword;
His name – War.
M’Lord look yonder, tell me what you see?
Is that a Black horse comes towards me?
And on it’s back a rider – a balance in hand;
His name – Famine.
M’lord, look yonder, tell me what you see?
Is that a Pale horse comes towards me?
And on it’s back a rider carrying scythe;
His name – Death.
