What do you think of this Johnny Cash song?
Listen here: http://www.hit-country-music-lyrics.com/johnnycashlyrics-mancomesaround.html
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 goin’ ’round takin’ names. An’ 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. For 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 singin’. Multitudes are marching to the big kettle drum. Voices callin’, voices cryin’. Some are born an’ some are dyin’. It’s Alpha’s and Omega’s Kingdom come.
I love that song. The imagery is fascinating and disturbing. Johnny Cash said he wrote it after a dream he had in which Queen Elizabeth told him he was “like a whirlwind in a thorn tree.” The phrase sounded familiar and he found it was in a Bible passage then wrote the song around it.
I’m not a Christian, so I don’t attach any personal spiritual significance to the song. But I do find the dark, sinister aspect of it to be very interesting – it sort of strips away the smiley face that modern Christianity likes to paint on the terrifying prophecies of the Bible.
