Metallica the four horseman lyrics

By the last breath of the fourth winds blow 

 Better raise your ears 

 The sound of hooves knocks at your door 

 Lock up your wife and children now 

 It's time to wield the blade 

 For now you have got some company 

  

 The Horsemen are drawing nearer 

 On the leather steeds they ride 

 They have come to take your life 

 On through the dead of night 

 With the four Horsemen ride 

 Or choose your fate and die 

  

 You have been dying since the day 

 You were born 

 You know it has all been planned 

 The quartet of deliverence rides 

 A sinner once a sinner twice 

 No need for confession now 

 Cause now you have got the fight of your life 

  

 The Horsemen are drawing nearer 

 On the leather steeds they ride 

 They have come to take your life 

 On through the dead of night 

 With the four Horsemen ride 

 Or choose your fate and die 

  

 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 had to endure 

 And what you have put others through 

 Death 

 Deliverence for you for sure 

 There is nothing you can do 

  

 So gather round young warriors now 

 and saddle up your steeds 

 Killing scores with demon swords 

 Now is the death of doers of wrong 

 Swing the judgement hammer down 

 Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat 

  

 The Horsemen are drawing nearer 

 On the leather steeds they ride 

 They have come to take your life 

 On through the dead of night 

 With the four Horsemen ride 

 Or choose your fate and die
