i'm the beginning of the end
the end to all rest
i am the first to send
i am Conquest

i'm the pushing force
what most do not fight for
yet i ride my horse
i am War

i am the sound of the 3rd trumpet
the plagues of men and women
i am the last sunset
i am Famine

i'm the last
i'm your last breath
no future to your past
i am Death

© Xiao H., Naperville, IL

The author's comments:
this is inspired by me and my old band mates, we called ourselves the four horsemen, i was War, my best friend and drummer was Conquest, Famine was our bassist, and the guitar was Death.
