My Name Is Death by Effigy of Madness Lyrics
Prophecised for ages, the final days of man
Sent forth to expunge the wicked, by our maker's hand
The lamb of god breaks the sacred seal
Usher in the end, hell itself revealed
Fear heeded doctrine, inked in sin
Time turns the pages, armageddon begins
Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
This final chapter, of the lord's decree
The holy rapture, and my killing spree
Hear the seven trumpets sounding on the wind
Foretold in scripture of the pages within
No one left to read it when the cover's closed
In a sea of blood, I leave the world disposed
Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
Revelations 6:7
“and when he had opened the fourth seal
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, 'come and see.'”
Revelations 6:8
“and I looked, and behold a pale horse...
And his name that sat on him... was death.”
[Solo]
Your empires crumble, as the pages burn
And into hades, your souls interred
Banish the pagan souls to eternal flames
Stand before the judgement of the lord's disdain
Succumb to his will, in god you trust
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
On a pale horse I ride
Sent forth to expunge the wicked, by our maker's hand
The lamb of god breaks the sacred seal
Usher in the end, hell itself revealed
Fear heeded doctrine, inked in sin
Time turns the pages, armageddon begins
Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
This final chapter, of the lord's decree
The holy rapture, and my killing spree
Hear the seven trumpets sounding on the wind
Foretold in scripture of the pages within
No one left to read it when the cover's closed
In a sea of blood, I leave the world disposed
Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
Revelations 6:7
“and when he had opened the fourth seal
I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, 'come and see.'”
Revelations 6:8
“and I looked, and behold a pale horse...
And his name that sat on him... was death.”

Hell cries, the skies lacerated
Mankind, condemned to the scythe
Hear the thunder of my steel hooves
My name is death, on a pale horse i ride
On a pale horse I ride
