The Lamb opened the first seal, and a beast did show
A crowned white horse rider, conquering, with a bow.
Another seal was opened; second beast as guide
Showed one with a great sword, to cause war, red horse ride.
The third seal was opened, and then the third beast showed
One with a pair of balances a black horse rode.
The fourth seal was opened, and the fourth beast showed then
A pale horse, rider death, to kill a fourth of men.
The fifth seal was opened; for justice slain souls cried
And giv'n white robes were told "rest, 'til enough have died!"
The sixth seal was opened; there was a great earthquake,
The sun turned black, the moon red; men hid in the wake.
