DARKNESS IS A RIDER  

Darkness is a rider
Bane to good hope
In every mother's son
Darkness is a rider  
Granting absolution
Where crime there is none   

Paranoia camera moving in
The angle couldn't be much tighter
As every stranger's face
Gapes behind a grin
Remember darkness…
Is a rider 

Darkness is a rider
With raw beating heart
Through your window he'll start  
Darkness is a rider  
He'll pluck your mystery
With cruel cunning art 

Give me release
Or some kind of peace
My burden could be so much lighter
For you who made my soul
Also made the beast
Whose darkness is a rider 

Darkness is a rider
Drawing curtains close
Against the ghost of the sun
Darkness is a rider
Granting absolution
Where crime there is none
