When the Man comes around.

[BobBong]

And I heard as it were, the noise of thunder...
One of the four beasts saying "come and see"
and I saw.
And behold a white horse...


There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each
Sip and each sup will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around

Hear the trumpets hear the pipers
one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omega's kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes 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
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around


And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.

-Johnny Cash.

Don't know it? Go find it, it's worth it.

i first heard that song when i saw the Dawn of the Dead remake. i've always loved Cash, but that song was one i'd not run across.
and it worked SO freakin' well for the opening credits of that film!

Yeah I was going to say "wasn't that the song in the beginning of Dawn of the Dead?"
