Cliff Burton - The Four Horsemen lyrics

[Verse 1] By the last breath of 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 have got some company [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You have been dying since the day you were born You know it has all been planned The quartet of deliverance rides A sinner once a sinner twice No need for confession now Because now you have got the fight of your life [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Time Has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine Your body it has torn through Withered in ever place Pestilence For what you have had to endure And what you have put others through d**h Deliverance for you for sure Now there's nothing you can do So gather round young warriors now And saddle up your steeds k**ing scores with demon swords Now is the d**h of doers of wrong Swing the judgement hammer down Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat [Chorus] 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
