[Verse 1]
I’ve faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
[Refrain 1]
Appease you
The wind blows and I know
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You’ll find me
[Refrain 2]
The coarse tide reflects sky
[Chorus]
And the Night Mare rides on
And the Night Mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the Night Mare rides on
[Refrain 3]
What I fear is lost here
The wind blows and I know
[Bridge]
All you have to do is run away
And steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You’re so cruel in all you do
But still, I believe, I believe in you
[Verse 2]
So may you come with your own knives
You’ll never take me alive
With all the force of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t go on
Digging roses from your grave
To linger on
Beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You’ll find me
[Chorus]
And the Night Mare rides on
And the Night Mare rides on
With a December black psalm
And the Night Mare rides on
[Outro]
I’ve faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you
To hold the flower I can’t keep

Yes, its about a horse, but a mythical one; as in the kind that drives through your dreams. The drums are double-tracked and in mono each, set aside by the far realms of stereo, which give the track that swishy-feeling that if given more...
