When The Man Comes Around
And I heard as it were the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw
And behold a white horse
There's a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who _________
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There'll be a ___________________________
When the man comes around
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup?
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million __________________
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, ___________________
Some are born and some are dying
It's alpha and omega's _____________________
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
__________________________ will bow down before the throne
And at his feet they'll cast their golden crowns
When the man comes around
Whoever is unjust let him be __________________
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is __________ let him be ____________
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It's alpha and omega's _____________________
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
_______________ for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the man comes around
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And his name that sat on him ______________
And Hell followed with him

ResponderEliminarIf I only had smoken for all my life!...
(Where could I send the answers???, is there a gratification?)...
Ups... I haven´t thought about answers... I guess google has the key.
ResponderEliminarAnd for the gratification... is it posible better one than the honour to listen such a voice?
I´m glad you like it... I wasn´t sure this kind of music could be queens´ "cup of tea". I just love him, my man in black!!
By the way, have you translated the lyrics? I haven´t yet but I guess it is kind of weird meaning...
PD:
Could I correct a grammatical mistake? "and for GIVING US"
After preposition; gerund, I forget. I apologise.
ResponderEliminarThank you for the correction (that's the spirit!!).
And in relation with "i wasn't sure this kind of music could be queens' "cup of tea"... Oh my god!:
"One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in other minds"
Alfred Kazin
I don't know exactly who he is, but Wilde's quotes are much more difficult to fit. ;)
Nice quote.... I didn´t know this Alfred Kazin but in 1996 he was awarded the first Truman Capote Lifetime Achievement Award for literary criticism... And as I love Capote, he will be great also for sure.
ResponderEliminarNow I share with you one of my favourite quotes... Wilde one
" we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars"
gorgeous isn´t it?.... queens should understand it as it is in our own nature as queens....
What a wonderful quote!, I haven't heard it before.
ResponderEliminarPerhaps some of the stars are looking to the gutter, because they miss movement and closed spaces!...
(Or this only happens in Titanic?)...
