[Verse 1]
The second seal splits wide
Thunder speaks: "Come forth"
A horse the shade of blood
Ridden by the one who brings the sword
Hooves strike the trembling ground
Darkness gathers near
The rider's gaze knows nothing
But the harvest of despair

[Chorus]
No peace upon the earth, no peace for mortal men
The sword divides the world, and brother slays his kin
No peace beneath the sun, no peace in any land
War rides the crimson steed, the great sword in his hand

[Verse 2]
The living creature calls
"Come and witness this"
Red as flame, red as wrath
The rider whom no army can resist
Ancient kingdoms fall
Cities burn to ash
Empires built through centuries
Crumble in his path

[Chorus]
No peace upon the earth, no peace for mortal men
The sword divides the world, and brother slays his kin
No peace beneath the sun, no peace in any land
War rides the crimson steed, the great sword in his hand

[Break]

[Final Chorus]
No peace upon the earth, no peace for mortal men
The sword divides the world, and brother slays his kin
No peace beneath the sun, no peace in any land
War rides the crimson steed, the great sword in his hand

[Outro]

"When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword" -Revelation 6:3-4
