Horns sound
Over the walls, and
All round
Guardsmen are called
The whole town
Cast in a pall
Like something from a dream
Black wings
Beating the wind
And dark things
Feed on our sins
With vile kings
Pale and thin
And all the children scream
All the children scream
All the children scream
They ride
Ride
Ride
With cold and hungry eyes
Ride
Ride
Ride
When breaks the demon tide
Sharp nails
Tear at the doors
And minds fail
Coming unmoored
As walls fail
Deafening roars from
Jaws as dark as coal
Bug black
Skittering waves
The streets crack
Turning to graves
Yell, Fall back
They wail and rave
And feast on living souls
Feast on living souls
Feast on living souls
They ride
Ride
Ride
With cold and hungry eyes
Ride
Ride
Ride
When breaks the demon tide
Hold!
Form your ranks and hold
Grab a spear! Be bold
Get your shields up
High and stem the tide
Drive
Push them back now, drive
Buy your families time
To load the boats and
Run to save their lives
Run to save their lives
Run to save their lives
Run to save their lives
They ride
Ride
Ride
With cold and hungry eyes
Ride
Ride
Ride
When breaks the demon tide
They ride
Ride
Ride
With cold and hungry eyes
Ride
Ride
Ride
