Johnny Cash - The Man Comes Around

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME9Xp...
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 to blame
Everybody won't be treated all the same
There'll be a golden ladder reaching down
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 angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It's Alpha and Omega's kingdom come

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
The wise man 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 unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
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 kingdom come

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

In measured hundred weight and penney pound
When the Man comes around.

Close (Spoken part)
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 was Death
And Hell followed with him.

Johnny Cash was the king. Not Elvis.

[Das Pfosten]

God bless Johnny Cash!

[David Dudley]

but she is right Jesus Christ is the "King of Kings" he is HOSANNA!

[SplitLighting]

Same, it was the first time I heard this song. So now its stuck in my memory every time i hear this song.

[Necrilla Gorilla]

When ever I hear this song I think dawn of the dead

[dd1234567894]

can i just say that chuck berry was the king

[Edgar Marcus]

Los gringos tienen a Johny Cash, los mexicanos tenemos a José Alfredo Jimenez.

[Dustin2574]

Cash is king of country, Elvis is king of rock

[3Xtraders]

Well trinity isn't in the bible any more than eve eating an "apple" is, and was never taught as such by the early church, although the triune Godhead is generally accepted as scriptural. 1. Christ said: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" Jn 14:9, and to defraud someone is to steel from them. Pretty simple.

[John Miles]

God had many sons, and if you want to get technical with religion, we are all his children, down to the last man, good or evil. Johnny was a human, just like any of us, but he was a king among men. He was a king because he was able to move people, he was able to lead, he was able to live life the way he believed he should. Everybody dies, but not everyone truly lives, and my friend, johnny lived.
