9. Gigas (5:28)
Behold, the right hand weakened.
As the seal is opened.
A rider held a bow and a crown. Hell bent on conquest.
Come and see!
Victory or defeat?
Bring forth cataclysm.
Come and see!
Voices like thunder.
Four creatures become present.
Unto the second seal, a rider appeared grasping a sword.
With Power to extort peace from the land.
Dissonance amongst the ones we once loved.
As life perished before our eyes.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
Calamity prevails. A famine to rot the weak.
Another seal vanquished. A future so bleak.
Stranger, how could you drain me dry?
What is it that you desire?
As we beg to flourish once again.
I give in, to repent my sins.
To taste the purest bread and wine.
Spare us, creatures of the divine.
(Death)
Death will follow you with a pale horse.
Extinction of us all.
Death will follow you with a pale horse.
No need to sympathize with a dying world.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
Bring forth cataclysm.
Come and see.
The end of it all.
As the seal is opened.
A rider held a bow and a crown. Hell bent on conquest.
Come and see!
Victory or defeat?
Bring forth cataclysm.
Come and see!
Voices like thunder.
Four creatures become present.
Unto the second seal, a rider appeared grasping a sword.
With Power to extort peace from the land.
Dissonance amongst the ones we once loved.
As life perished before our eyes.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
Calamity prevails. A famine to rot the weak.
Another seal vanquished. A future so bleak.
Stranger, how could you drain me dry?
What is it that you desire?
As we beg to flourish once again.
I give in, to repent my sins.
To taste the purest bread and wine.
Spare us, creatures of the divine.
(Death)
Death will follow you with a pale horse.
Extinction of us all.
Death will follow you with a pale horse.
No need to sympathize with a dying world.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
They were given power in fourths, the beasts of the Earth.
Bring forth cataclysm.
Come and see.
The end of it all.
