Legend Of The Headless Rider — текст песни (mercyful fate)

(Music by Hank Shermann Lyrics by
King Diamond)
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???
