Shadows Of The Apocalypse
.. Chapter one, verse eight, in the book of Revelations ..
Depicting mother earth being shook to its foundation
As God looks on his creation .. as a failure before his eyes
Dissapointed and appauled, the thoughts .. soar in his mind
.. Of whether to end humanity .. To disgard his craft ..
.. To erase all life on the planet and start from scratch ..
.. Such a heartless act .. but take into consideration ..
Everything that he's gave us .. And how we've repayed him.
We've lied, cheated an stole .. are adulterous & dishonest
.. Do you REALLY think that's ANYWHERE near what he'd of wanted? ..
He promised long ago that .. in this event ..
Four angels of the Apocalypse would begin their descent ..
.. Down to earth .. turning our world into a battlefield ..
.. Humanity's final hour .. as we cling tight to a shattered shield ..
.. Until that cast is broken, with no signs of vast emotion ..
.. It was predicted long ago, now that time is fast approaching ..
.

.
.. The Four Horsemen Are Among Us ..
.
.
War
.
.. Horseman War began his course from the floors of heaven ..
His cancerous form, taking storm of the war on terrorism
Releasing its agressive rhythm, as war-scarred Baghdad fell
.. Burnt flesh .. heavily decorated by shards of shrapnel ..
The wounded left to die, as bystanders stood the sidelines
.. Wide Eyed .. Watching the blood pour, & tryna fight cryin ..
.. cold tears for the fallen, as the Horseman played Umpire ..
.. to Bloodied Bullet-ridden Bodies; laid to rest from the gun fire ..
Bare flesh .. torn from bone .. As the innocent fall
.. The horseman's stake was claimed. Their victim's of War ..
.

Famine
.
"Help your fellow man"
.. It's often neglected by parliment ..
So the third world felt the wrath; as Famine struck at the heart of it
.. Food sources were scarce, and the villagers starving ..
As fierce floods destroyed the wheat they'd pillaged for harvest
Hunger consumed the pupulace, beneath their hand-me-downs
.. Hungry for answers as to why this .. had to happen now ..
The Famine was God sent; a horseman of ruthless choice
.. That let thousands starve to death for him to prove his point ..
.
.
.
Pestilence / Plague
.
.. Among this apocaliptic apex .. Plague played his part ..
Leaving the world astounded with an outbreak of SARS
.. No one was safe from harm; the disease increased its cause ..
.. through the un-knowingly infected, eager to leave the shores ..
And escape the sudden outbreak; consuming their city
As an increasing death-toll has them doomed in self-pity
The news reached a global audience; announced on TV
.. Brought to the world's attention ..
.. Plague had done what it set out to achieve ..
.
.
.
Death
.
Think back to nine eleven .. To the building the planes were flown
To the second you watched the towers become a heap of paint & stone
.. To when the first plane collided against the Tower's face & ..
.. How the world watched; as it collapsed to its foundations ..
Leaving nothing in its wake, but a bitter tasting surplus
.. Among those that lived to see it ..
.. Death has served his purpose ..
..
.
.
.. Im a religious man, so it's important i stress this ..
.. I strongly believe God's using these events as a message ..
.. A predule of sorts .. Insight into our looming fate ..
.. Of how the Apocalyptic Horsemen WILL consume our race ..
.. If we dont start making a change; or an attempt at stopping this ..
.. We'll all be men in black ..
