Galloping Shadows

[Verse 1] Now, gather 'round, ye fools so bold While I spin a yarn from nights of old (Verse 1) [Spoken-sung, building mystery] When the moon hangs low and pumpkins glow, The spirits wake from graves below. Witches brew and banshees wail, In the misty woods, their midnight tale. But hark! A thunder shakes the ground, A rider comes without a sound... (Chorus) [High energy, repetitive swing, layered bass harmonies] Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee KLOP! He rides through the fog, makes your blood run hot! WOH bih-TIDE thee if you stand in his way, The Headless One hunts till the break of day! Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee-klop... he'll claim it all! (Verse 2) The ghosts all dance in fiendish glee, Saucer eyes and horns, you see. They whirl and twirl in jam-buh-REE, But the Shadows crashes the spree. With cape a-flutter, sword held high, He seeks his prize 'neath stormy sky. He seeks his prize 'neath stormy sky. (Chorus) Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee KLOP! He rides through the fog, makes your blood run hot! WOH bih-TIDE thee if you stand in his way, The Headless One hunts till the break of day! Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee-klop... he'll claim it all! (Bridge - Vocal Break) (Verse 3) [Whispered] The young rider flees o'er the old stone bridge, Heart pounding wild, on fate's cruel ridge. But the Shadows looms, his laughter a roar, One swing of the blade, and you're no more! (Final Chorus) Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee KLOP! He rides through the fog, makes your blood run hot! WOH bih-TIDE thee if you stand in his way, The Headless One hunts till the break of day! Galloping Shadows, KLIP-uh-tee-klop... he'll claim it all!
