[Lyric] He Comes Riding (William Gibson, Joe Raposo, & The Demo Cast of Rag Dolly)

[GENERAL D]
THE NIGHT FILLS WITH TERROR, THE SOUL IS STRIPPED BARE
THE BATTLE IS OVER, AND NOBODY WON
AND THERE'S NO ONE TO CARE
THE SPIRIT SHATTERS, THERE’S NO TRACE OF WILL
AS THE BLOOD MOON IS RISING ABOVE YOU
A PALE SHADOW LOOMS ON THE HILL

AND THEN HE COMES RIDING, THE WIND CHILLS YOUR FACE
THE TERRIBLE MOMENT YOU'VE DREADED THE MOST
LOCKS YOU IN ITS EMBRACE
AND THOUGH YOU GO RIDING, WITH HIM AT YOUR SIDE
HIS SMILE LEADS YOU ON, ‘TIL YOUR LAST BREATH IS GONE
AND ETERNITY’S DOOR OPENS WIDE

HE’S QUIETLY WAITING, A HUSH IN THE AIR
HIS EYES GLOW A TENDER ENCOURAGEMENT
TEMPTING YOU CLOSER, AND LEADING YOU THERE
AND THERE’S NO ESCAPING, ALL PATHS ARE AS ONE
AS THE BLOOD MOON IS RISING ABOVE YOU
AND YOUR LITTLE STORY IS DONE
AND SO HE COMES RIDING, BEFORE BREAK OF DAY
THE NIGHTMARE THAT'S HAUNTED YOU A LIFETIME
LEAPS OUT AND IT SWEEPS YOU AWAY
AND OH YOU GO RIDING, WITH HIM AT YOUR SIDE
HIS SMILE LEADS YOU ON, TILL THE LAST BREATH IS GONE
AND ETERNITY’S DOOR OPENS WIDE
OPENS WIDE
OPENS WIDE!
