By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your doorLock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you've got some companyHorsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of night
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and dieOh yeah yeahYou've been dying since the day you were born
You know it's all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rideA sinner once, a sinner twice
No need for confession now
'Cause now you've got the fight of your lifeHorsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of night
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and dieOh yeah yeahTime has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine, your body it has torn through
Withered in every placePestilence, for what you have to endure
And what you have put others through
Death, deliverance for you for sure
Now there's nothin' you can doSo gather around, young warriors, now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swordsNow is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgment hammer down
Safely inside armor, blood, guts and sweatHorsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of night
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and dieOh yeah yeah
