The Four

He crept into the now

upon a horse of white

and took the light of day

into the darkest night.

 

He sat upon his horse

passing judgement to the damned

and on his midnight hair

a lonely crown was jammed.

 

With his revelations

no living man could rest

and deep with their hearts

they knew him, Conquest.

 

With sword and blood spilled

upon the battlefield

the second joined the first

and neither of them kneeled.

 

War upon his steed of red

pitted brother against brother

stealing peace throughout the land

watching them kill each other.

 

Black as night

black as sin

Famine sits

with twisted grin.

 

Among his hands

the balance made

for the wheat and barley

the price is paid.

 

Three penny one

one penny mine

the black sits

not touching the wine.

 

With the fourth

upon the pale

Death brought to us

a weeping and a wail.

 

Given power, given rule

upon each one's birth

The Four they kill

with sword, hunger, death, and beasts of the Earth.
