Mercyful Fate - Legend Of The Headless Rider Lyrics

(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???
