PALE HORSE RIDER
By David Snyder

https://soundcloud.com/david-snyder-gigs3/pale-horse-rider

V1

There's a pale horse rider out on the horizon
and he's riding his horse across the sea
and there's a blood moon rising
and the pale horse rider
you know he's coming for you and me

and I am not a prophet and I'm not Nostradamus
and I don't have a crystal ball
but the pale horse rider
has a coat of many colors
and he's riding across this world to take it all

CH

And the pale horse rider
Rides across the Sea
And he’s coming for you and me
And the Pale Horse Rider
Has a face just like a Pumpkin
But he smells like a disease


V2


And the Esoteric Riddler
dwells beneath the temples
with the Watchers and a gloomy lunatic
Beetlejuice and the Seven Sisters
Coming on a flying saucer
I'm telling you, you better get used to this
You better hide the disinfectant
The sunlight and the Clorox
The Pale Horse Rider will
Use these for his test
Don’t stick that needle in your arm
That Clorox isn’t a magic charm
And you’ll be sick like all the rest

CH

And the pale horse rider
Rides across the Sea
And he’s coming for you and me

And the Pale Horse Rider
Has a face like Mussolini
But he smells like a disease

Bridge


And there’s no use crying for your mama
The time for crying’s already gone
Too many people singing empty praises for the fool
Now I’m afraid they’ll be singing a different song

V3

It's the time of the small wind
just before the Big Wind
you better listen to the Sioux and the Navajo
get ready for the hochxoo
that's what they called the dark wind
and it rattles through your skull like black voodoo

CH

And the pale horse rider
Rides across the sea
And he’s coming for you and me
And the Pale Horse Rider
Has a face too full of Botox
But he smells like a disease
And the Pale Horse Rider
Has a face like Armageddon
And he’s coming for you and me
And the Pale Horse Rider
has a face just like a pumpkin
and he’s coming for you and me

Unless we change our destiny
Unless fight against the night
Unless we promise to be free
Unless we throw
This freak out on the street
Yeah
Unless we throw this freak out on the street

And make America great again

Crazy, David? Sounds like a big old dose of sanity to me. Brilliant work. I was smiling at the intro, and when you started to sing the smile just got wider and wider (despite the tragedy on many levels that your lyrics so inventively skewer). My hat's off, man.
Regards,
Leon

Loaded with symbolic references, Dave, just like the book, itself.
Epic work with an interesting use of the Dylan touch.

I hadn't realized Dylan was all that anti-Trump. I looked it
up and as it turns out, he's really not. Not a big fan of
politicians to begin with, his quote was, "At least you know
what you've got."

David,
Whoa - unbelievable channeling in lyric style and vocals of Mr Dylan... no idea what happened to his wit and scalpel but I`m happy to listen to Mr Snyder possessed like this all day.
Disturbingly cool.

Brilliant lyrical journey. The lyrics are certainly not predictable and near Dylan running time.

Good job.

Hey Ed,

Thanks! Dylan? Man. I don't know what you mean. Don't know what you mean about the other guy either. This is about the Pale Horse Rider man.
