|
"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???
