Lyrics

[Verse 1]
By the last breath, 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
[Chorus]
The 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
[Verse 2]
You've been dying, 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
'Cause now you've got the fight of your life
[Chorus]
The 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
[Bridge]
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
And what you have to put others through
Death, deliverance for you for sure
There's nothing that you can do
[Bridge]
Gather around, young warriors now
Saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing your hammer down
Safely inside armor, blood, guts and sweat
[Chorus]
The 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
