The Horseman

I'll find a center in you.
You know I play for keeps.
I'll drive the Devil in you.
Just to watch you weep.
As I watch your last breath.
Come out of your cheeks.
You will know my name.
I'm the one who reaps.

As my tool slices the air.
You'll be down on your knees.
I'm the falsehood in your hopes.
I'm the one who holds the rope.
Dying never seemed so dreamy.
Call my name and watch me.
It's all so easy.

Call out the countdown.
To your own demise.
This is a promise I keep.
For you all to prize.
I am the horseman.
And my name rings true.
When you realize it's your last breath.
I'll be comin' for you.

Make your beliefs present.
As I watch you play the Fool.
There's no going back.
Drowning in my pool.
Of sickness, darling.
The one you hold so dear.
I am the figment.
The king of your fear.

Galloping to my claim.
Your head in my darkness.
Falling from the horse.
Dropping from the harness.
I sit back and watch your mouth groan.
Never a silenced plea.
From my everlasting throne.
