Lyric Legend Of A Headless Rider

(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???
