Headless Mule

Beneath the Southern Cross, where shadows creep and crawl
A pact was made in whispers, destined for my fall
The sacred vows I shattered, a love forbidden, deep
Now ancient curses waken, from centuries of sleep

The Moon hangs heavy, blood-red, a warning in the sky
A primal dread is rising
The Moon hangs heavy, blood-red, a warning in the sky
A primal dread is rising, as human pieces die

No head to scream my terror, no voice to plead my pain
Just hooves of fire pounding, across the moonlit plain
The scent of burning sulfur, it fills the humid air
My skin begins to bristle, a transformation rare

The bones within are shifting, contorting with the night
My human eyes are fading, replaced by feral light
I feel the muscles straining, a power takes its hold
A beast is breaking outward
I feel the muscles straining, a power takes its hold
A beast is breaking outward, a story to unfold

Pounding pounding the headless ride goes on
Burning burning until the final dawn
Headless forever across the night I fly
Headless Mule beneath the darkened sky

A headless, burning fury, a legend taking hold
My mortal form is fading, a story to be told

No head to scream my terror, no voice to plead my pain
Just hooves of fire pounding, across the moonlit plain

A headless, burning fury, a legend taking hold
My mortal form is fading, a story to be told
