Legend of the Headless Rider Lyrics


["THE RISE"]

I'm an undertaker

I'm a ghost in the night

I'm a coffin shaker

This graveyard site is mine

Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye

Tonight the moon is cold as ice

Oh yeah... cold as ice... oh yeah

There's a black horse waiting

Will HE be on time?

The graveyard's shaking

Should I turn my eyes and walk away

Take a look at the sky, see that evil eye

Tonight the Headless Rider rides

Midnight... let the churchbell ring

It's midnight, All Hallows Eve

It's midnight, All Hallows Eve

I see him rising from his grave

I see him rising from his grave...

["THE CHASE"]

On All Hallows Eve, never to forget

He rides the open field

In search of his head

My GOD, he's so grotesque

Should I stay?

My GOD, a scythe in his hand

NO WAY

He's coming... I'm running

He's coming... I'm running

Deep inside I know I'm the one

He's coming... I'm running

Deep inside I know this is wrong

Help me, I'm falling down

SOLO: Shermann

I'm falling down...

I'm looking up... I'm in a grave

["DOOMED"]

In this hollow grave

I can smell that he's near

Will I ever never make it

Will I shed a tear

Oh it's strange how everything's changing

Now my life is fading away

In this hollow grave

I see a bony hand

Don't you ever never take it

It's the key to his land

Oh it's strange how everything's changing

Now my life is fading away

SOLO: Denner

Oh it's strange how everything's changing

Now my life is fading away

NO!

["EPILOGUE"]

The mind in my headless body

Seems to be chained to the inside

I cannot move towards the light...

And as he rides away

Leaving me with this curse

I hear his laughter in the distance

Actually it's my laughter, he stole my head

Does this mean I'll be The One next year???
