Legend Of A Headless Rider — текст песни (Merciful 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???
