The Four Horsemen (Live - Seattle ’89)

[Intro]
[James Hetfield]
Hey man, you guys are alive back there?
I can't fucking hear you
I thought we had some loud friends with us
Come on!
We are gonna play some old shit right now
So, we are gonna see who's got the first album or not
Just find out if you know what the fuck this shit is, alright?

[Verse]
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]
The horsemen are drawing nearer
On 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
Oo yeah yeah!

[Verse 2]
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
Sing it, man!
On through the dead of night
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Ooo yeah yeah! Come on men...

[Bridge]
Yeah!

Time! Has taken it's 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, no
Yeah!

Hey! Hey! Hey!...
[Crowd takes over the Hey's]

[Verse 3]
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
Yeah!
On through the dead of night
With the four horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Oo yeah! Yeah! Yeah!..
Hey!

[Guitar solo]

[Outro]
Oo Yeah!

[Jason Newsted]
I hope everybody is doing ok, man
Shit
It's a fucking hot one tonight, man
I'm liking this though, man
I'm fucking happy as hell
This is great shit
Really good to see all you guys, man
Thanks a lot, fucking cool
