Fourth angel's turn it came
To blow that dreadful sound
Let all who hear brace themselves
For what was next to come

The sun grew dim, it shone not bright
Nor stars nor moon at night
A third was gone, no longer there
And day turned into night

The warmth of sun turned so cold
And third of day was gone
Winter across all the lands
And winter in people's hearts

Across the sky an angel flew
Crying out with sorrow
Woe, woe, woe
To inhabitants of the earth

Though all these signs were given
And woes that did befall them
Never once did most turn back
And cease God accursing

Fifth in line this angel stood
Trumpet's note resounding
Was the sign for evil one
Given keys to Hades

Out of pit the evil came
The air like night it darkened
Locust came like horses shaped
Readied for the battle

Out the came from depths of hell
To spread across the land
Death was not given them
But instead theirs to torment

Hair so fair like woman's pride
Adorned by crown so golden
Teeth like lions, sharp and cruel
And breastplates made of iron

Giving them the run of earth
But harm not vegetation
Man their target five months long
Not to kill but torment

Safe were those with sign of God
Safe from all this torture
Stood and watched their fellow man
Screaming out their torment

This horror loosed upon the earth
To roam so far and wide
None were safe that knew not God
Hunted by destroyer

The sixth angel stood tall
And lifted horn to blow
Eerie note sounded forth
To drift to earth below

A shout went up as heaven roared
And riders forth a riding
There before them lay the dead
Beneath the hooves were trampled

Forth they rode, north, south, east and west
All the earth they covered
One third of earth was given them
For death and destruction

Oh how they wailed and gnashed their teeth
And cursed all that in heaven
Yet still they fell to horror's death
Beneath black rider's onslaught

Two hundred million riding forth
Their eyes so fiercely blazing
Two hundred million riding forth
Death their only mission

Oh how the angels wept above
To see below the carnage
Had they turned their face to God
Salvation would be given

And still they cursed and railed at God
Rejecting all salvation
Even now God's loving hand
Would lift and cup them gently

The seventh angel stood at post
For final trumpet blow
Woe to all when he did blow
The final judgement's come

The time had come to change things
For Jesus to return
The battle's end was in sight
For God to reign again

The devil cast in pit below
With all those who would follow
Had they but turned from evil ways
They too would rule with Jesus
