Through the infinite sphere of endless death He rides the beast of all the blackness By the vapours of the dragon’s breath The birth of fear in your nightmares The horseman rides through the burning forest Unveiling all your darkest visions As the lightning it soars above me This witching power it sways unseen Through the inferno where the serpent speaks He brings a chill and a trail of omens By the fires that will dance in the wind The devil’s own turns our prayers into sin Of eternal fires Headless horseman At the Tree of the Dead Headless horseman Comes to me again In the dead hush of the haunting midnight hour Comes forth an atmosphere of terror Mysteries of the damned wicked wind And all the torment they bring Spectres at the raven’s rocks Your local tales and your superstitious knots In this graveyard the stones are so cold In this Region of Legends This story is told In the darkness you shall ride Desperation is burning high Slain shall be who dares to stand Vengeance ends you, fate at hand In the darkness you shall ride Man or beast you cast aside They shall always be afraid Of the one who bares no name This darkness falls and you it calls This darkness falls
