about

Probably my most heavily researched song ever! Once I had the album title, I wanted to write a song referencing as much from the book of revelation as possible. The idea then came to me of portraying the news media as the four horsemen, constantly showing us war, famine, death and pestilence. But of course, unlike the biblical horsemen, the end times never actually come.

lyrics

The horsemen ride tonight on the black, red, pale and white
And they know how to sell a vision of hell to us all that we will buy
The horsemen ride tonight on a brand new satellite
Beamed onto the screens the blood just won’t come clean from their hands
But if the lake is on fire and the media choir sings a dirge for the world
They’ll be first to feast
Shaking hands with the beast seven times
The horsemen ride tonight because they bought the exclusive rights
As the trumpets sound and they send in the hounds to keep us on our knees
The sky starts falling and we’re just crawling around
Looking for somewhere to hide as the horsemen ride away
To return another day
Because they’ve built a good career making profit out of fear and nothing more
And when the lake is on fire as the media choir sings a dirge for the world
They’ll be first to feast
Shaking hands with the beast seven times
The horsemen ride tonight
The horsemen ride tonight
The horsemen ride tonight
The horsemen ride tonight
