CAt the terror in each Sip and each sup
CWill you partake of that last offered cup
C Am FOr disappear into the potter's ground
F G CWhen the man comes around.

C F CAnd the wirldwind in the thorn trees

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