Metallica - Four Horsemen lyrics

By the last breath of the fourth winds blow Better raise your ears The sound of hooves knock at your door Lock up your wife and children now It's time to wield the blade For now you've got some company Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh yeah yeah You've been dying since the day you were born You know it's all been planned The quartet of deliverance ride A sinner once, a sinner twice No need for confession now 'Cause now you've got the fight of your life Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh yeah yeah Time has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine, your body it has torn through Withered in every place Pestilence, for what you have to endure And what you have put others through d**h, deliverance for you for sure Now there's nothin' you can do So gather around, young warriors, now And saddle up your steeds k**ing scores with demon swords Now is the d**h of doers of wrong Swing the judgment hammer down Safely inside armor, blood, guts and sweat Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the four horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Oh yeah yeah
