Song by Johnny Cash<br /><br>

And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder:<br>

One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see."<br>

And I saw.<br>

And behold, a white horse.<br>

<br>

There's a man goin' 'round takin' names.<br>

An' he decides who to free and who to blame.<br>

Everybody won't be treated all the same.<br>

There'll be a golden ladder reaching down.<br>

When the man comes around.<br>

<br>

The hairs on your arm will stand up.<br>

At the terror in each sip and in each sup.<br>

For you partake of that last offered cup,<br>

Or disappear into the potter's ground.<br>

When the man comes around. <br>

<br>

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.<br>

One hundred million angels singin'.<br>

Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum.<br>

Voices callin', voices cryin'.<br>

Some are born an' some are dyin'.<br>

It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.<br>

<br>

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.<br>

The virgins are all trimming their wicks.<br>

The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.<br>

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.<br>

<br>

Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom.<br>

Then the father hen will call his chickens home.<br>

The wise men will bow down before the throne.<br>

And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown.<br>

When the man comes around.<br>

<br>

Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.<br>

Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.<br>

Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.<br>

Listen to the words long down,<br>

When the man comes around. <br>

<br>

Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers.<br>

One hundred million angels singin'.<br>

Multitudes are marchin' to the big kettle drum.<br>

Voices callin', voices cryin'.<br>

Some are born an' some are dyin'.<br>

It's Alpha's and Omega's Kingdom come.<br>

<br>

And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.<br>

The virgins are all trimming their wicks.<br>

The whirlwind is in the thorn tree.<br>

It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.<br>

<br>

In measured hundredweight and penny pound.<br>

When the man comes around.<br>

<br>

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts,<br>

And I looked and behold: a pale horse.<br>

And his name, that sat on him, was Death.<br>

And Hell follwed with him.<br>

<br>
