Sub Sole Nihil Novi Est Ad Astra Per Aspera Quaerite Prime Regnum Dei Ante Bellum Memento Mori

Jesus, the Lamb of God
Opens the first four seals
The end is upon them
And they all know it
For on this last night
Rides the four of God’s Horsemen

The first of the seals has opened
With it the end begins
I see the First of the Horsemen
Ride into the night

The rider of the White Horse
His name is Conquest, he is the Anti-Christ
He wears a single Crown
Upon his head
He moves onward, out to conquer
And spread that of his namesake

With the opening of the Second Seal
Comes the second step to destruction
I am talking of the Second Horseman
Who heard Conquest and now joins him

Upon the stallion of Crimson Red
Sits War, he lets out his fearsome call
I watch him as he grasps his blade
His great sword, and raises it above his head
His time has come to spill blood
And spread the Hateful Anger

Alas, the Third Seal is open
This foolish Lamb
With it I need not spy
But sense the Third’s arrival

The wretched Famine is called
He answers, riding his mount
Of Pitch Black, carrying his Scales
He rides out onto the field
Spreading Disease and Poverty
They run and scream, he is highly feared

Now comes the silence
This is almost over
I now await the arrival
Of the Last and of My Brother

My wait is not long
As the silence is broken
I hear the storm rising
Now is the time

The world shall face it’s demise
The Lamb of God is done
With the broken silence
Comes an opened Fourth Seal

On a steed of Pale Green
Deaths arrival is felt
He surveys the damage of his brothers
Satisfied, he lifts his Scythe
The others see this gesture
And join him where he stands

They discuss among themselves
Of what they have done
And of what they must do
As they await the last of their party

At last he arrives into this world
Their leader, My brother, Gabriel
He, like Death, views the field
And he is satisfied with the four
He sees the horror of three
But not the relief of the fourth

He sees armies fighting armies
Over their lords lands
He sees men quarrel with each other
For their own pitiful reasons
He sees the poor, the sick
Starving but not yet dead

He speaks to the first three
Congratulating their success
But when he gets to Death
He does not do this
He stares at this Horseman
And then walks on

He gives his speech
“Conquest, War and Famine
I can see you have worked hard
But there is much more to do
Death you have not done one thing
Now go and finish what was started”

With those few words
The Horsemen group together
And begin their charge
Conquest, War, Famine and Death
What a sight to behold
All of their destruction

With death now with them
Those armies, those men
Those sick, those poor
It is now their end
What a relief for them
The world is over, now I step in

I join my brother on the earth
And with him I talk for a while
We make our way to Mount Purgatory
Tomorrow we arrive at the Pearl Gates

The Horsemen may have been
Gods servants till the end
But when Gabriel had that power
He was happiest I had ever seen him
The inevitable end has come
Now we wait for the second Cycle

We arrive at the peak of Mount Purgatory
Just as it hits dawn of the day after the end
I look back onto the wasted land
And wonder how the next life will be
Since these demons of the human race
Has already ruined the world

My view returns to Gabriel
He is now some way ahead of me
It is time to keep climbing
I catch a glimpse of the world again
And I see the Morning Star, Rejoice
Not long before the Beginning again
