Hello! thanks for watching this! I was partially inspired by Toasty and their lyric videos for the Four Winds EPs I might do videos for those as well with the entire EPs as one video, that way the transitions between songs is seamless, like the transition between these two songs!
Yep, but in this case the whole album is also referencing Exodus and the events therein. These two songs being about the death of the firstborn of Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea, and subsequent drowning of pharaoh's army. And how those events parallel Christ's victory over the grave.
What’s interesting is that the title is “Pale White Horse”. The pale horse is, of course, death. But the white horse is the antichrist. So it’s not only alluding to Christ’s defeat of death, but also Satan.
Hello friends! Friendly neighborhood English fucker here! These songs, like most songs from the album, are based on biblical passages or references, with this one being a bit trickier to decipher since it is a twist on a "noncannon" book of the Bible. The poem is called the "Ubi Sunt," and it poses the rhetorical question: "Where is the horse, and where is its rider?" If you're a Lord of the Rings fan, it is also referenced in The Two Towers! It was a very popular poem in the Dark/Medieval age.
@thenateshow4371 Yeah, probably. I was just saying that the Ubi Sunt is referenced in the book "The Two Towers," as Tolkein was also a scholar and acutely aware of the poem's existence. (Sorry, I can not and was not able to properly format the title as I can not italicize it.) Everything about this album is very Biblical, though. Good catch! :3
I have search lyrics for the song where your rider and i guess i didn't see that this was for both pale white horse and where you rider. I love how the lyrics video fits matches up with the album cover 💖💖💖
Idk how everyone else is interpreting this song but personally I interpret it as representing traumas, being faced with something that triggers a traumatic memory and being able to overcome the fear and see that things have changed
The second song references both the triumph of Christ over Death (the missing rider), and the destruction of pharaoh's armies when the waters closed on them (the cavalry who have sunk like stones in the sea). A lot of the lyrics are taken from the song in Exodus that the jews sang on the far shore of the parted red sea.
The first song is a reminder of death, and how inevitable it is, when your time is up it is up But the second is a reminder that death has been defeated and that those who put their trust in Christ shall be raised

This has the last boss battle music so dope
If i remember correctly the pale rider is death? Of the four horsemen
and Hades followed with him.
That's correct. This song is about the fear of death followed by the certainty of knowing that Christ has defeated it.

I thought the towers part was referencing the Tower of Babel

It was the pale white horse ....with the wicked smile , and i knew it was my time .
Oh death where is your sting?
Not gonna lie, this makes me think of destiny 2 everytime for anyone who knows the story/lore.

I like this more than the christian interpretations
Nope, it’s Pale White Horse from the scriptures.
@@orderlysummitSorry, but you are wrong. Always has been.
@@Challenger461 wow that’s such a cool idea it almost like we’re different people and I have my own interpretation that’s different from yours
