Death Rides A Pale Horse

Far off i hear the hoof beats
Hoof beats that sound so much like my beating heart
Thunder crashes and lightening flashes
It is not fear that fills me but pleasure
Pleasure for i know who he rides for tonight
Who my immortal love rides for
Broken, bruised and bloody i rise from my bed
Out in to the dark, the dark cold wind
Feel it try to pull the clothes from my sore body
Feel the chill of the rain as it washes over me
The excitement, oh the everlasting excitement
Of knowing soon there will be no more
No more words spoken in anger and hate
No more hiding behind doors and dark glasses
No more lies and excuses to others
Not even to ownself
No more pain of the fist on my bruised and tender fist
No more crimson blood falling on pristine white tiles
No more nights of crying to sleep with a broken heart
No more shattered dreams and unfulfilled promises
No more of anything
The hoof beats draw nearer
My heart races to meet their pace
Still no sight through the thick fog drifting around me
My mind, body, heart and soul cry out to my immortal love
"Please do not forsake me this time
I have felt your tender icy grip on me time and time again
Begged you to take me along on your nocturnal ride
You left me alone in misery
The time is now i am ready"
Out of the haze comes a sight that stops my heart
Not out of fear but of exciting pleasure
A silent glistening of rain on a glowing hide
Mysterious dark figure mounted
He reaches out to me
Reaches out to take my hand
I feel his icy cold embrace surrounding me as he pulls me within his arms
With the last breath in my body i sigh
"at last you have come for me"
Death rides a pale horse
