lyrics

Apparitions rise up
Into the night
From the pond in the village
Under fullmoon light
Rider without a head
A messenger of death
Black omens of doom
Take your last breath

I have seen death arise
From the dark into the night
Lock all doors
Windows too
As he rides in the mourning gloom
He holds his scythe
Held up high
Now it's time for you to die

Close all curtains
Lock all doors
Don't look outside
When you hear the black horse
The sound of hooves
Slowly pass your door
Eerie winds howl
Apparitions in the dark

I have seen death arise
From the dark into the night
Lock all doors
Windows too
As he rides in the mourning gloom
He holds his scythe
Held up high
Now it's time for you to die

Now it's time to die
The reaper carries his scythe

Ill omens of death and disease
Life has ceased to be
Ill omens of death and disease
The horseman has come to reap

The headless horseman
Rides in the night
Upon a black horse
Forewarns of doom
Life shall expire
Forewarns of death

I have seen death arise
From the dark into the night
Lock all doors
Windows too
As he rides in the mourning gloom
He holds his scythe
Held up high
Now it's time for you to die

I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka

I bought this on CD ages ago and it didn't leave my car's rotation for a couple years. I Raised this Stone as a Ghastly Memorial is one of those songs I consider a perfect representation of my taste in music. erin
