By the last breath of 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

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

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

Cause now you have got the fight of your life

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

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 have had to endure

And what you have put others through

Death

Deliverance for you for sure

There is 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 judgment hammer down

Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat

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
