Pale Horse Rider

[Intro] [Soft, sustained piano chords with minor undertones] [Verse] A rider pale, a ghostly sight, Emerges from the eastern light. A bow drawn back, a deadly aim, Sowing discord, fear, and pain. [Chorus] The pale horse rides, a chilling fear, Death follows close, the end is near. A world in chaos, hearts filled with dread, As shadows lengthen overhead. [Verse] With famine's scourge, the land is scarred, A harvest withered, hope barred. The price of bread, a precious cost, As hungry souls are sorely lost. [Chorus] The pale horse rides, a chilling fear, Death follows close, the end is near. A world in chaos, hearts filled with dread, As shadows lengthen overhead. [Verse] A mournful cry, a desperate plea, For mercy's hand to set us free. But darkness reigns, a cruel decree, As suffering's tide relentlessly. [Chorus] The pale horse rides, a chilling fear, Death follows close, the end is near. A world in chaos, hearts filled with dread, As shadows lengthen overhead. [Fading instrumentation, leaving a sense of desolation]
