The seals are broken, the hidden mysteries of judgment are made known.
The Lamb is worthy to open the scroll and reveal the fate of mankind.

I saw a scroll within the hand,
Of Him who sat on heaven's throne.
Sealed with seven, unbroken bands,
Its mystery, to all unknown.
Who is worthy to break the seals?
To read aloud what it conceals?
A voice cried out, a weeping sound,
For none were worthy to be found.
Behold the Lion, the Lamb who stands,
Worthy to open the sacred bands.
The seals are broken, the words are read,
The secrets of judgment, the fate of the dead.
The elders bowed, their crowns cast low,
A symphony of prayers did flow.
Angels sang in endless praise,
Their wings alight, their voices raised.
The first seal breaks—a rider white,
A conqueror rides with a bow in sight.
The second seal—a rider red,
War and blood—the earth is fed.
Behold the Lion, the Lamb who stands,
Worthy to open the sacred bands.
The seals are broken, the words are read,
The secrets of judgment, the fate of the dead.
And I saw when the Lamb opened one,
Thunder roared, the end begun.
Seal the words, Daniel was told,
Until the end, the story unfolds.
The third seal breaks—a rider black,
Scales in hand—famine on track.
The fourth seal—pale horse of death,
Hades rides close—stealing breath.
The fifth seal shows souls below,
Crying out for justice slow.
Clothed in white—they're told to rest,
Until the martyr's blood is blessed.
The sixth seal—earthquake and flame,
Sun turned black, moon like blood became.
Stars fall down, the sky rolls back,
The Day has come—the final act.
Behold the Lion, the Lamb who stands,
Worthy to open the sacred bands.
The seals are broken, the words are read,
The secrets of judgment, the fate of the dead.
The seventh seal—silence falls,
A trembling earth, a heaven that calls.
The scroll unsealed, the prophecy known,
The judgment declared, the reapers have sown.
Revelation 5:1–5 (KJV):
"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals... And no man in heaven, nor in earth... was able to open the book... And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda... hath prevailed to open the book..."
Daniel 12:4 (KJV):
"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
Revelation 6:1–17 (KJV):
"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals... And there went out another horse that was red... and behold a black horse... and I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death... And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake... For the great day of his wrath is come..."
Matthew 24:4–14 (KJV):
"Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name... And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars... and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes... And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world..."
Zechariah 6:1–8 (KJV):
"And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes... and behold, there came four chariots... in the first chariot were red horses... and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses... These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth."
