Death rides this
A pale horse is the mount of Death in the Book of Revelation, one of the four horses ridden by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The phrase evokes mortality, doom, or catastrophe: He saw the pale horse coming for him.
It appears in titles of novels, films, and songs trading on its biblical gravity.
