And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder.
One of the four beasts sang, Come and see.
And I saw, and behold, a white horse.
There's a man going round taking names,
and he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody will be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder reaching [Am] down
[F] [G] when the man comes [C] around.
The hairs on your arm will stand up
at the terror in each sip and in each suck.
Will you partake of that last offered cup
or disappear into [B] the potter's [Am] ground

And at his feet they'll cast their [Am] golden crowns
[F] [G] when the man comes [C] around.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
