Megadeth – Blessed Are The Dead lyrics
A great sign appeared
Under the stars and the moon
Sounds of galloping horses
On clouds of lightning and thunder

A dark gathering storm
To scorch the earth for many generations
A nuclear winter
Worse than any cold or holy war

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The doctrine of hatred
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(Ride!) Won't you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come
I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

A white horse on the clouds of death
A red warhorse to end all wars
A pale horse and pestilence led by a
Black horse with famine and scales

The synagogue of satan
Nation will rise against nation
Wash me in blood and let me be
The firstborn of the dead

A crowned rider with arrows and bow
A red rider with a great firey sword
Flames come from the one called death
Horror and apocalypse follows

(Ride!) Won't you four horsemen ride again
Before this kingdom is blown to kingdom come
I hold fast to what I believe
Till I see my name in stone

Blessed are the dead

    I think this song is about the book of Revelation in the Bible. This is about the end time as prophesied by John the Apostle. Nearly all of the lyrics of the song are from the Bible, although many are taken out of context. Dave is a Christian and this is his take on the End Times. The Bible tells us that blessed are the dead who die in Christ. Jesus is the Firstborn of the Dead. The only way to Eternal Life is by being washed in the Blood of Jesus Christ. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life and no person comes to the Father but by Him. The Synagogue of Satan is unbelievers who pose as Christians. Jesus told us nations will rise against nation and we see that right now. The Bible tells us that believers names will be written in stone. Overall, a super song that speaks the truth of the One True God.
