Through the hollows
mists rising through the trees
comes the headless rider
and his noble steed
darkened shadow agianst
the moon
racing agianst an
unseen foe
for a unweary soul to steal
riding through enternity
in a timeless chase
night after night
through my dreams he rides
thundering hoofs, erie cries
calling my soul
to come and follow
reaching out to me
nowhere to run
or hide
only a hope
that he will
pass me by
the sound of hoofs
drawing closer
in time with the
beat of my heart
closer and closer
he rides
his sword drawn
back in his hand
the ground rumbling
where i stand
by me he passes
vanishing
into a mist
one more day
my soul survives
until the
midnight hour
when the headless
rider
continues his ride
Beware of midnight,when darkness comes
and shadows begin to fall
the midnight hour
when the reaper comes to call
between the living and the dead
in the doorway he stands
is this reality
or dark visions in your head
no time to run
or kneel and pleed
one swift glance your soul
left to bleed
so when darkness comes
and shadows begin to fall
beware the reaper
hes comming to call
so of your life be weary
the wrong things make right
your lies to truth , pray for light
in life the paths are many
the way yours to choose
one a life complete
one your soul to loose
so when darkness comes
and shadows begin to fall
beware the reaper
he's comming to call
