Strap in, metalheads! This apocalyptic anthem from Metallica is a head-banging journey into the end times. The titular "Four Horsemen" are a reference to biblical prophecy, representing War, Famine, Pestilence and Death. But this isn't Sunday school - it's a grim reminder that life is fleeting, and our fate is sealed from birth. The relentless rhythm mirrors the inexorable march of time and mortality. It's not all doom and gloom though; there's an underlying call to arms for listeners to embrace their inner warrior and fight against life's injustices. So next time you're feeling existential dread, crank up this track and remember: we're all just riding with the Four Horsemen.
The Four Horsemen
Lyrics
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
Oh yeah yeah
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
Oh yeah yeah
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
Oh yeah yeah
