[Intro]
What will you tell your children when they ask you, "What went wrong?"
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland?
How will you justify, justify watching the world die?
[Verse 1]
The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered?
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgement is calling
[Chorus]
(Hey, hey!) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey!) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey!) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey!) This is the funeral
[Post-Chorus]
The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn
[Verse 2]
A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgement is calling
[Chorus]
(Hey, hey!) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey!) This is the funeral of the Earth
(Hey, hey!) Behold the pale horse
(Hey, hey!) This is the funeral
[Post-Chorus]
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future if we can't learn...
[Outro]
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
I can't watch it burn
Behold the pale horse

In an interview with AltPress, the band said:
Jeff [Ling, guitarist] hit a pot with a spoon for this intro. Who needs a cowbell when you can hit a pot? He also made the last sub drop by punching an acoustic guitar and warping the recorded sound with some effects. If you haven't figured out the mean...
