It's "on a pale horse" and yes it does come from revelations. The 4th
horseman of the apocalypse is Death and corruption who rides a pale horse.
The first horseman actually is the one on the white horse and represents

horseman is war and rides a red horse and the third is famine & plague and
rides a black horse.
