The Dawn Riders

Sound the alarm, sound the alarm
On the horizon, an on-coming storm

With the Sun the Dawn Riders approach
Black bandit masked and billowing cloaks

Their sabers are sharp, make no mistake
Sound the alarm and close the gate

Black stallions of nightmare standing sixteen and two
The Dawn Riders raid for your bounty and loot

Sound the alarm, do toll the bell
The bastards ascend straight out of hell

The Dawn Riders are coming, The Dawn Riders are here
Hide if you can amongst the chaos and fear

Thunder and lightning pound through the gate
The Dawn Riders arrive, the hour is late

Blades flash in the sun, with red they gleam
Razor-edged horror, followed by screams

The dust settles to fading shouts and calls
Hoofbeats in the distance as tears like rain, fall

The Dawn Riders came, leaving torment behind
The Dawn Riders came, taking all they could find
