| There’s a man going 'round taking names
 | 
| And 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
 | 
| Will 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 singing
 | 
| Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
 | 
| Voices calling, voices crying
 | 
| Some are born and some are dying
 | 
| It’s Alpha 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 salaam, 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 crowns
 | 
| 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 singing
 | 
| Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
 | 
| Voices calling, voices crying
 | 
| Some are born and some are dying
 | 
| It’s Alpha 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 |
