[Verse 1]
One rider has a bow, rides a steed
White, and wears a crown, conquering
A second rider joins, on a steed
Red, swinging a sword, mongering
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall on us, and hide us
From the tyrant who is Satanically enthroned
[Chorus]
There, there
The marks are spreading everywhere
There, there
The marks of the evil one
[Verse 2]
The third rider looks cool, on his steed
Black, a pair of scales in his hand
The fourth rider is death, rides a steed
Pale, and Hades follows him
[Pre-Chorus]
Fall on us, and hide us
From the tyrant who is Satanically enthroned
[Chorus]
There, there
The marks are spreading everywhere
There, there
Disciples of the evil one
There, there
Watch, they're crawling out the serpent's lair
There, there, there
The marks of the evil one
[Verse 3]
We're plowing through the seals
Like there is no tomorrow to be seen
As if the falling sky is nothing but an ancient dream, and
And when the sun eclipses
It's just abracadabra
Some hocus pocus sham
Here they come, here they come, here they come
[Post-Chorus]
(There, there)
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
(There)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
There, there
The marks are spreading everywhere
There, there
Disciples of the evil one
There, there
Watch, they're crawling out the serpent's lair
There, there, there
The marks of the evil one
[Outro]
There, there
There, there
There is a fucking there, there
The marks of the evil one

Tobias:
I think it’s more interesting focusing on who the marks are. Lyrically, it’s a very dummified interpretation of Biblical writing, sort of simplified as something cool!
