Em 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've got some company Chorus: Em The horsemen are drawing nearer D On the leather steeds they ride C B They have come to take your life Em On through the dead of night D With the four horsemen ride C B C B G E Or choose your fate and die You've 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 confession now 'Cause now you have got the fight of your life Chorus: The horsemen are drawing nearer On the 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 Aw yeah, yeah! Em C C# D 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've 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's the death of doers of wrong Swing the judgment hammer down Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat Chorus: The horsemen are drawing nearer On the 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 Aw yeah, yeah!
