The Horseman, Composed on 23 October, 2011, in a deep reverie.

I am the shadow in the night,

Standing still and listening.

All will fall before my might,

And none shall e’er be left standing

I am the figure in the fog,

Shifting ever to and fro

None shall see my passage forth,

And all will feel my deadly blow

I am the wanderer on the road,

Riding ever here and there.

None expect me, yet all meet,

And I ride on without a care.

I am the rider in your city,

Stalking through your darkened lanes.

All will fear th’ coming darkness;

None shall flee except in vain.

I am the darkness

I am the shadow

I am all that man can fear

I am the rider

I am the horseman

I am that which none can hear

I am behind you,

I am before you,

I am beneath you, above you, within

I am the gateway

I am the portal

I am the unholy scion of sin

I am the rider

I am the horseman

I am Death.
