The Cry of the Banished Horseman |
When the night is starved and mean and long with dread |
And a bitter frost is filling up your bed |
You put your ear against the pale and howling wall |
You can almost hear the rider’s mournful call |
(Hulloo! Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
He rode in darkness on an o’nery steed of black |
O’er the broken graves and wagon tracks |
Now drag your door against the snow and listen west |
You can almost hear the rider in the mist |
(Hulloo! Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
For forty days and forty nights he fell |
From Sacramento to the battered gates of Hell |
Now take a step into the hard and deathly chill |
You can almost hear the rider cross the hill |
(Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
A hunting horn and knife held in his killing fist |
The Mark of Cain, a brand upon his wrist |
Now lean into the blizzard’s fury, if you dare |
You can almost hear the rider’s trumpet blare |
(Hulloo! Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
They marked his arm because he gone and killed a man |
And cast him out to roam uncharted land |
Now brave another pace and step into the fear |
You can almost hear the rider drawing near |
(Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
And to the man he killed, he vowed to never mourn |
To those he left, he promised to return |
Now call three times into the unforgiving storm |
You can almost hear the rider spread his arms |
(Hulloo! Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
I am that rider on the dark, dark steed |
When they asked who saved you, tell 'em it was Reed |
Now follow me into the savage night |
You can almost hear a new dawn’s early light |
(Hulloo! Hulloo!) |
It’s the cry of the banished horseman |
