He rides through the forest nightly
Looking for a soul to pray on,
Child clings to his mother tightly
Hoping to see the light of dawn.
The headless horseman laughs loudly
While tears swell in the mother's eyes,
Horseman raises his sword proudly
The night is filled with the child's cries.
Headless horseman reveals himself
To the little motherless boy,
Collects heads to put on his shelf
His little life, is now destroyed.
