Behold A Pale Horse Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

There was a mighty nation 

Blessed above all of creation 

It was a rare and precious pearl 

Conceived in faith and liberty 

Home of the brave, land of the free 

It was the envy of the world 

But this shining city on the hill 

Has turned from the Creators will 

And let evil take control 

Now the reckless men who lead them 

Want to strip away their freedom 

And to steal their very soul 

Now it's smoke and mirrors 

Switch and bait 

Criticize and confiscate 

And let the guilty walk away 

In this much righteous Godly nation 

In the halls of education 

They forbid a child to pray 

They say we need to spread the wealth 

And they pretend to guard the health 

Of the feeble and the poor 

While the hand they hold behind their back 

Confuses and conceals the fact 

That the wolf is at the door 

There's an unseen hand 

That pull the strings 

That makes his little puppets dance 

To every song he sings 

As the night rolls in 

On a rising tide 

Look beyond the shadows 

Behold a pale horse rides 

They claim to seek a new world order 

Nations without borders 

But don't believe the lies 

Even in this wealthy nation 

It can come down to starvation 

In the twinkling of an eye 

They tell us there will soon be peace 

Our lives will be an endless speech 

But they lead us toward the darkness 

In the distance sabres rattle 

And the armies train for battle 

As the beast prepares his mark 

There's an unseen hand 

That pulls the strings 

And makes his little puppets dance 

To any song he sings 

As the night rolls in 

On the rising tide 

Look beyond the shadows 

Behold a pale horse rides 

It's time for every righteous man 

To step up tall, take a stand 

There is so little time 

For if we fear and hesitate 

Soon it will be too late 

We're the last hope of mankind 

Time hurries on, the shadows fall 

The hand is writing on the wall 

But even now there's still a chance 

For if the ones called by God's name 

Repent his sin and seek his face 

He will hear and heal the land 

There's an unseen hand 

Reaching from above 

And the gentle voice that beckons 

To the shelter of his love 

Come on home my Wayward child 

'Cause out on the horizon 

There's a pale horse running wild 

America my wayward child 

Can't you hear the thundering hoof-beats 

Of a pale horse running wild 

Pale horse running wild 

Pale horse running wild 

Pale horse running wild 

Pale horse running wild
