When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come and see.”

So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.

(Revelation 6:7,8)

---

In the realm where dreams and visions meet,
The fourth seal breaks, a voice discreet,
“Come and see,” the creature cries,
And I behold, with widened eyes,
A pale horse, its rider, Death, so grim,
Hades trailing, shadows dim.
Power over earth, a fearsome sight,
Sword, hunger, death, in their might.
