Headless Night

Terror grips my racing heart, Night tears sanity apart. A shadow rider cloaked in dread, The moon drips blood; the stars are dead. Through gnarled branches, whispers call, A name I know but can’t recall. Headless hunter, taste my fear, Feel my pulse fade when you’re near. Steel and smoke, infernal rage, Etched into this cursed stage. (No escape, no escape...) Your horse’s hooves shake time’s cruel chains, The air ignites, the forest wanes. A thousand lifetimes burned in screams, Your vengeance threads through endless dreams. I fought, I fell, but here I stand— A lamb to fire, your blade in hand. (It never ends, it never ends...) Headless hunter, taste my fear, Feel my pulse fade when you’re near. Steel and smoke, infernal rage, Etched into this cursed stage. (No escape, no escape...) The earth remembers every sin, Each broken soul you pulled within. No grave can hold what fate denies, Your hollow face, eternal skies. Bound by blood, I see it now— This curse was mine; you made the vow. (This is my reckoning...) Beneath dead leaves, where shadows writhe, The soil drinks what once was life. Your blade, a hymn of endless woe, It carves the name I’ll never know. I beg, I burn, but still I feel Your hollow crown, your wrath made real. (Burn me down. Break me whole.) Headless hunter, taste my fear, Feel my pulse fade when you’re near. Take my flesh, take my bone, Claim my soul as your new throne. (No escape, no escape...) Your hollow crown, your endless reign, Forever cursed, we bleed in vain (No escape, no escape...) Lyrics: Cheshirah
