[Verse 1]
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
Withstood the suitors' quiet siege
Pulled down the heavens just to please you

[Refrain]
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]
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]
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
