Legend Of The Headless Rider Lyrics - Singles - Mercyful Fate

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 church bell ring 

It's midnight, All Hallow's Eve 

It's midnight, All Hallow's Eve 

I see him rising from his grave 

I see him rising from his grave 

On All Hallow's 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 

I'm falling down 

I'm looking up 

I'm in a grave 

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 every thing'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 every thing's changing 

Now my life is fading away 

Oh, it's strange 

How every thing's changing 

Now my life is fading away 

No 

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?
