Revelation

Of all the books in The Bible, none has fired the Western imagination more than this mysterious last one - John's Apocalypse

Chris de Burgh and Guitar

The Leader
 
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;

A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again,

For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...

The Vision

And I saw a burning chariot,
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse
Waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky;

And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men,
Fighting hand to hand,
And I heard the sounds of victory,
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies,

And I saw the fire from the sky,
I saw fire, and I saw paradise,
Fire from the sun, I saw fire,
And I saw Alpha and Omega;

Fire, I saw fire,
And I saw paradise,
Fire, I saw fire;

What About Me?

I am left in the night, trembling with fear,
I have seen to the future, and the future is here,
Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames,
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say,

What about me, and you, and the ones that we love,
What about me, and you, and the ones that we love, 
Well what about us?
