In the chill of the night when the moon starts to wane And shadows shift and silence falls as the darkness awakes The forest is still Hide yourself from the trail You sense a presence, a rider comes with death like a veil It’s falling all around you You can see the shadows grow The ring, you feel it calling you Behold, they come Black riders Flee from the road Your cover has failed Make for the bridge and pray you'll go Unnoticed from there The hooves are pounding louder They’re nearly upon you now You reach the river, a raft awaits You escape as they howl They shadow you by land Their eyes begin to glow They beckon you come near And your fear begins to grow It’s falling all around you You can see the shadows grow The ring, you feel it calling you Behold, they come Black riders
