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.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
Till Armageddon, no Shalam, no Shalom. Then the father hen will call his chickens home. The wise men will bow down before the throne. And at his feet they'll cast their golden crown. When the man comes around.
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still. Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still. Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still. Listen to the words long written down, When the man comes around.
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers. One hundred million angels singin'. Multitudes are marchin' 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.
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree. The virgins are all trimming their wicks. The whirlwind is in the thorn tree. It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
In measured hundredweight and penny pound. When the man comes around.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts, And I looked and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him.
Finally viewed it - took a long time because of wretchedly slow dialup. Definitely worth the wait.
Johnny Cash is great.
NEW 'W' FREEPER FLASH MOVIE - WHEN THE MAN COMES AROUND -- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1248282/posts?q=1&&page=1
That's Bommer's original thread, from 10/17 (I got curious about history; fact is this can't be posted too much, is what I'm thinking).
This is simply incredible....I have sent it everywhere!
Let's make sure every American see it before 11/2.
Great job. Thanks for the effort. I sent it out to my list.
Hi, Julie -- that's what I'm thinkin'. I sent it to Jeb.Bush@myflorida.com among others.
I wish we could get Drudge to put it on his site.....that would get it circulated fast!
good idea! I keep thinking of more people to send it to. I still have it playing . . . and it's still affecting me as powerfully as the first time, ie, blurry screen syndrome.
done -- drudge@drudgereport.com
also submitted via his direct "tip" line on his website http://www.drudgereport.com/
Man did you hit a nerve! Thank you!
RIP Johnny Cash.
Super fantastic!!!
Muy Terrifico!
Helen Thomas would scare ME into celibacy-we need to show that to as many thirteen year old Muslim boys as possible.
I love it!
(((((Julie)))))) - thank you for pinging me to this.
((((((Bommer))))))) - I am sending a link to your wonderful production to everyone I know via email. You ***ROCK***! Thank you and God Bless you for doing this.

Every FReeper deserves a look at this wonderful production. Thank you!
I finally got to a computer where I could both see and hear this. I am speechless and dogonnit, I'm crying.
how's this for stark juxtaposition of images? >>

dans, your tagline says it.
Bommer, can't remember if I pinged you to that thread of Kerry "hunting" (see above), but it is a stark contrast to your vid. Thanks again.
Prayers for wide dispersal and moments of clarity for voters across the country.

Oh my gosh! Having dialup, I don't usually click on flash movie links, but I've heard so much about this, I clicked to let it download while doing some other things - LOTS of other things! (It takes a whole buncha minutes to load.) :)
I played it twice, tears filling my eyes both times. It's overwhelming. The song (Johnny Cash?) is wonderful in itself, but the pictures tell the story in such a passionate way. Thank you, bommer!
I thought Bommer posted it and I pinged to it ?Maybe not. We'll give it a pingaroo. :^D
