The Rustling of the Wind
The Hounds of Hell dispel the rustling of the winds
True love will never win if it was left to him
To life and fate with out faith
There horses are lined up and ready at the gate
As autumn leaves twirl about their mounts
Feet pace out loves door; and then one runs through
The blacken skies shout die, die and accept defeat
Death rides upon his blood red horse, as he beats him near to death
Spilling passions and their wants
At twilight time he cackles you'll both be mine
Jack O' Lanterns and black cats imaginations
Are but his dreams or so it seems
This broken hearted rider is beheaded
Dreading the rustling of these leaves, on the autumn winds
Trying to remember his lover and their sins
Stolen pleasures and romantic treasures
Comes the severs' of their heads
A disenchanted swordsman leaves the scene
With crystals in his eyes he mutters why?
As he pauses at the door, his crimson covered blade drips droplets of his rage
He could not be swayed to let true love endure; so planted his foot he did
In the autumn night the swordsman cringed
At the sliding of the ice and that final slice
The last thing heard he, was the rustling of the wind
Mirrors of this deed about his fallen head
The last thing seen by he; the reflective scenes of the lovers dead
The last thing heard by none the rustling of the wind

True love will never win if it was left to him
To life and fate with out faith
There horses are lined up and ready at the gate
As autumn leaves twirl about their mounts
Feet pace out loves door; and then one runs through
The blacken skies shout die, die and accept defeat
Death rides upon his blood red horse, as he beats him near to death
Spilling passions and their wants
At twilight time he cackles you'll both be mine
Jack O' Lanterns and black cats imaginations
Are but his dreams or so it seems
This broken hearted rider is beheaded
Dreading the rustling of these leaves, on the autumn winds
Trying to remember his lover and their sins
Stolen pleasures and romantic treasures
Comes the severs' of their heads
A disenchanted swordsman leaves the scene
With crystals in his eyes he mutters why?
As he pauses at the door, his crimson covered blade drips droplets of his rage
He could not be swayed to let true love endure; so planted his foot he did
In the autumn night the swordsman cringed
At the sliding of the ice and that final slice
The last thing heard he, was the rustling of the wind
Mirrors of this deed about his fallen head
The last thing seen by he; the reflective scenes of the lovers dead
The last thing heard by none the rustling of the wind
