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

Everybody won't be treated all the same

Then the father hen will call his chickens home

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

The Man Comes Around è la title-track dell'ultimo album (American IV: The Man Comes Around) pubblicato da Johnny Cash nel 2002, prima della sua morte, nonchè una delle ultime canzoni da lui scritte. L'intera canzone fa riferimento ad una supposta venuta di un secondo Gesù Cristo, ed il testo contiene una notevole quantità di riferimenti biblici, in special modo dall'Apocalisse di Giovanni: tale venuta coinciderà con un grande giorno del giudizio per l'intera umanità.
