Presenter: Metallica
Album: Kill 'em All
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
Its 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

Will never get old to me. ANY METALLICA song from ANY Album up to ReLoad IMHO beats close to ANY song from ANY band. No one has ever touched METALLICA, so that means that no band will ever touch them
-
I think people forget how fucking badass this stuff was!
-
hetfield, ulrich, hummet, burton, THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF METALLICA
-
Yeaaaaaaah! Their best song! Without a doubt! 🤘🎸🔥🤘
-
anthrax, slayer, megadeth, metallica, THE FOUR HOURSEMEN OF THRASH
-

Brother, you speak the truth.

@evilmonkeylords It wasn't necessarily a Megadeth song. Dave Mustaine did write it, but he was originally the guitarist for Metallica until they fired him, then we went on to form Megadeth. Mustaine and Megadeth did release this song, Metallica did rename it, but they credited Mustaine for it on their album.

@TheTyler0953 omg that was just awesome gj

Really enjoying be able to make out the guitar in the high end! Thanks for posting!

@evilmonkeylords Another fun fact, Dave Mustaine, guitarist for Megadeth, was originally supposed to be Metallica's guitarist before he and James Hetfield got into a fued. Mustaine was fired from the band. Since Mustaine did help write many of the songs on Kill 'Em All, he is given credit on the album. Regardless, both Metallica and Megadeth are two of my favorite metal bands. \m/

I see alot of people talk about how this is Dave's song?No he has the Mechanix,not the Four Horesmen!Anyway the Mechanix would have never made it!! I like it @ the 3:30 mark it has a "sweet home alabama" sound!! YEAH!!

@a7xgodsmack Those are my faves as well. With Slayer it's "Hell Awaits" and "Reign in Blood", With Exodus it's "Bonded by Blood". Hail metal!
