It's much better quality and you can be proud of having a Metallica album. Don't download music!"The Four Horsemen" is the second track on Metallica's 1983 album Kill 'Em All. The original song, called "The Mechanix", had different lyrics, and was written during the time when Dave Mustaine was Metallica's guitarist. After Dave Mustaine was ejected from the band, he included it on Megadeth's first album, Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!, with the title slightly shortened to just "Mechanix", with the original lyrics, and a much faster tempo. After he left, James Hetfield rewrote the lyrics and Kirk Hammett added a new, melodic guitar solo in the middle of the song. This section is not played when Metallica performs this song live."The Four Horsemen" is a definite fan-favorite song of Metallica, and is commonly played live by the band. The title also served as a source for one of the band's nicknames.The lyrics, as the title suggests, are about the end of the world and the apocalypse. Referring to the biblical text about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. However, many believe the song is about Metallica themselves as the "horsemen."Lyrical MistakeThe lyrics (below) refer to the horsemen as Time, Famine, Pestilence and Death, however Time is not a horseman - however, [War] is.Lyrics:Time, has taken its toll on youThe lines that crack your faceFamine, your body it has torn throughWithered in every placePestilence, for what you had to endureAnd what you have put others throughDeath, deliverance for you for sureNow there's nothing you can doTHE FOUR HORSEMENBy the last breath the fourth winds blowBetter raise your earsThe sound of hooves knock at your doorLock up your wife and children nowIt's time to wield the bladeFor now you've got some companyThe Horsemen are drawing nearerOn leather steeds they rideThey've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of nightWith the Four Horsemen rideOr choose your fate and dieYou have been dying since the day you were bornYou know it's all been plannedThe quartet of deliverance ridesA sinner once, a sinner twiceNo need for confessions now'Cause now you've got the fight of your lifeThe Horsemen are drawing nearerOn leather steeds they rideThey've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of nightWith the Four Horsemen rideOr choose your fate and dieTime has taken its toll on youThe lines that crack your faceFamine, your body it has torn throughWithered in every placePestilence, for what you had to endureAnd what you have put others throughDeath, deliverance for you for sureNow there's nothing you can doSo gather 'round young warriors nowAnd saddle up your steedsKilling scores with demon swordsNow is the death of doers of wrongSwing the judgement hammer downSafely inside armor blood guts and sweatThe Horsemen are drawing nearerOn leather steeds they rideThey've come to take your lifeOn through the dead of nightWith the Four Horsemen rideOr choose your fate and dieWords and Music by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Dave MustaineCopyright © 1983 Creeping Death Music (ASCAP)International Copyright Secured All Rights Reserved
