The Four Horsemen (post released ’99) Songtext
von Metallica

By the last breath 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
Now you've got some company

The horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
Come to take your life, sing it
(On through the dead of night)
(With the four horsemen ride)
Or choose your fate and
Ooh yeah, yeah, oh yeah

You have been dying since the day you were born
You know it′s all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once, a sinner twice
No need for confession now
Now you've got the fight of your life


The horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
Come to take your life
(On through the dead of night)
(With the four horsemen ride)
Or choose your fate and
Die, die, die
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 had to endure
What you have put others through
(Death, deliverance) for you for sure
Now there's nothing you can do, no

Yeah
Hey-hey-hey-hey

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 leather steeds they ride
They′ve come to take your life, give it to me
(On through the dead of night)
(With The Four Horsemen ride)
Choose your fate and
Choose your fate and die, die
