The Pale Horse Reward


Time goes by of it’s own accord. We hold no more time than our own, And after all, death is our reward. There is no drawer where time is stored From which you can take a loan. Time goes by of it’s own accord. Do not spend your stay here being bored. Why work your fingers down to bone And after all, death is our reward. So rise, we will, unto the Lord, But only if we have time to atone. Time goes by of it’s own accord. Always, your soul moves ever onward Until Death comes riding on a pale roan And after all, He is our reward. So while you're here, strike no dischord For nothing is forever, not even stone. Time goes by of it’s own accord, After all, Death is our reward.
