The Headless Horseman
Last Pharaoh Lyrics

BACK IN 1776, ON A BLOODY BATTLEFIELD AT DAWN!!
The song takes place during the Revolutionary War in 1776, a time of immense bloodshed and violence.

CORPSES ROTTING IN THE MUD, VULTURES CIRCLE IN THE SUN!!
The aftermath of the battle leaves behind scores of dead bodies, already beginning to decay and attract scavengers.

A BROKEN SOLDIER BARELY LIVING, MAKES A DEAL FOR LIFE!!
One of the wounded soldiers finds himself close to death, and he makes a deal with the devil to restore his life and strength.

RESURRECTED FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, NOW HE SHALL RISE!!
As promised, the soldier is now resurrected from the depths of hell itself, and he is ready to rise and seek revenge.

AHHH, AHHHHH!!
The repeated, guttural screams add to the song's eerie, frightening atmosphere.

HORSEMAN, HE IS COMING... KILLS YA DEAD!! HE'LL TAKE YA HEAD!!
The Headless Horseman, the demon the soldier has become, is now on his way to claim his victims' lives and decapitate them.

HORSEMAN, ON A HORSE OF BLACK... SCREAM IN PAIN!! FROM HIS AXE ATTACK!!
The Horseman charges on his horse of black, leaving death and destruction in his wake, as his glowing axe deals fatal blows to anyone in his path.

BUT TONIGHT, YOU VENTURED FAR FROM HOME!! AND MET THE HESSIAN ON YOUR NIGHTLY ROAM... ALONG THE HOLLOW WHERE HE MAKES HIS NIGHTLY RIDE... TO SEARCH FOR THE HEAD, THAT ELUDES HIM!!
The Horseman searches for his lost head along a specific path, but tonight he comes across someone who has strayed too far from their own home and is now in grave danger.

AS THE WIND BEGINS TO HOWL, AND THE FULL MOON NOW APPEARS!! The SPECTRE RIDING THROUGH THE WOODS, BRINGS A CERTAIN CRINGING FEAR!!
The Horseman's arrival is marked by the eerie howling of the wind and the sight of him riding his ghostly horse through the woods, filling onlookers with fear.

CAN'T ESCAPE THE EVIL NOW, THIS DEMON CAN'T BE KILLED!! ON HALLOW'S EVE HE COMES, HIS BLOODLUST WON'T BE FILLED!!
The Horseman is an unstoppable force of evil that cannot be defeated, especially on the night of Halloween, when his bloodlust is at its peak.

KILLING EVERYTHING IN HIS PATH, RAGE EATS HIM FROM WITHIN!! HIS GLOWING AXE IS READY NOW, THE MURDERS SHALL BEGIN!!
The Horseman is consumed by a deep-seated rage that compels him to kill anything and everything in his path, and his glowing axe is now at the ready to fulfill his murderous desires.

PSYCHOTIC LAUGHTER FILLS THE ICE COLD AIR!! HIS HORSE OF DEATH, AND ITS DEMONIC STARE!! The GLIMMER OF THE BLADE IN THE MOONLIT NIGHT... A CHOP AND ALL OF LIFE DRAINS FROM SIGHT!!
The Horseman's arrival is accompanied by his maniacal laughter and the sight of his skeletal, deathly horse and the glimmer of his blade in the moonlight. Death is imminent for anyone unlucky enough to cross his path.
