Lyrics
Intro - whisper over wind + low drum
I saw them once...
Not in the sky...
In people...
Verse 1
First came the thin one,
With empty hands and empty plates,
He sat at my friends' table,
Said "you will never have enough",
And they believed him,
And they ate their own hearts.
Verse 2
Second came the pale one,
With a gentle smile,
He touched the children,
Said "sleep, just for a little while",
No whip, no shouting,
Just a fever that never left.
Chorus
Four horses, four shadows,
Riding through our veins,
Not outside - inside,
In love and in hate.
I felt them, God, I felt them,
In my friends and foes,
Four lords don't need crowns,
They live in what we hold.
Verse 3
Third came the loud one,
He loved anthems and flags,
Said "this is necessary",
While burning down their homes,
He called himself order,
But he only knew how to take.
Verse 4
Last came the quiet one,
Didn't say a word,
He just opened the door,
And waited at the end of the road,
The other three work for him,
He just collects.
Bridge - breakdown, almost spoken
Hunger wants more,
Pestilence wants touch,
War wants meaning,
Death wants...
Death just wants.
Chorus - full band, heavy drums
Four horses, four shadows,
Riding through our veins,
Not outside - inside,
In love and in hate.
I saw them, yes I saw them,
Not in books, in eyes,
If you never gave your fate away,
Are you even alive?
Outro - low, fading
I saw them...
In us...
Still riding...
