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

    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

    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???
