Uffington Horse – Black Unicorn Lyrics

I am he that knocks on your windowpane,
I am he that stalks the night
I am he with silver shot through my mane,
you'll dream of me with fire-eyes bright
If you ever meet me standing there,
you'll wish that you were never born
I'll seize your soul and strip it bare,
I am the Black Unicorn

My horn is forged of silver fire,
my shoulders bear leathern wings
I am the nightmare of your own desire,
I am the song that the Devil sings
Hellfire dancing in my eyes,
my coat is as black as coal
Mortals are so quick to hypnotize,
and then I merely take your soul

Teeth sharp as daggers cooled in the snow,
and hooves that burn through the ground
Follow me not where I lead you to go,
for then your soul will be devil-bound
There is but one who rides my back,
and keeps his soul ever free
His heart is cold and will not crack,
and he is as cursed as me

REPEAT FIRST VERSE
