Lyrics
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
For now you've got some company
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
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 confessions now
'Cause now you've got the fight of your life
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
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 put others through
Death, deliverance, for you, for sure
Now there's 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 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
