    by HijoDelMetallica on April 20, 2009
    By the last breath of the fourth winds blow Better raise your ears -listen to what they have to say- The sound of hooves knocks at your door Lock up your wife and children now Its time to wield the blade For now you have got some company -a confrontation of sorts- The horsemen are drawing nearer -referring to the biblical four horsemen of the Apacalypse, Time, Famine, Death, and Pestilence- 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 -presents one with a sort of ultimatum, 'ride'with the four horsemen or die- You have been dying since the day You were born You know it has all been planned -hints at the presence of a greater good, an all-seeing eye, a bigger being, God- The quartet of deliverance rides -once again, the four biblical horsemen coming for accounting of sins and dileverance- 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 -again the four, this time going into detail- 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 this is a sort of IN YOUR FACE song that gives you an ultimatum.
