Nevermind by Leonard Cohen The war was lost The treaty signed I was not caught I crossed the line I had to leave My life behind I had a name But never mind Your victory Was so complete That some among you Thought to keep A record of Our little lives The clothes we wore Our pots our knives The games of luck Our soldiers played The stones we cut The songs we made Our law of peace Which understands A husband leads A wife commands And all of this Expressions of The High Indifference Some call Love The High Indifference Some call Fate But we had Names More intimate Names so deep and Names so true They're lost to me And dead to you There is no need That this survive There's truth that lives And truth that dies There's truth that lives And truth that dies I don't know which So never mind I could not kill The way you kill I could not hate I tried I failed No man can see The vast design Or who will be Last of his kind The story's told With facts and lies You own the world So never mind

"When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come.” I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth." Revelation 6:7-8
