Out of the blackest night,
Came a steed before the light.
No, don't be afraid of him,
He'll open your eyes to them.
This night we were all drunk,
The air was stale with skunk.
Feel free to ride along,
This journey will be long.
The black horse is coming after you,
So fast you don't know what to do.
Your last breath will clear your mind,
This beast was not of our kind.
His eyes are crimson steel,
Burning hooves are what you feel.
Your last breath will clear your mind,
Your body left your soul behind.
With power from the blackest ale,
The metal cowboys will prevail.
The legend of the black horse,
The hunt was in full force.
Out of the blackest night,
Came a steed before the light.
No, don't be afraid of him,
He can open your eyes to them.
This night we were all drunk,
The air was stale with skunk.
Feel free to ride along,
This journey will be long.
In the mountains covered with snow,
We have found the black steeds home.
Following his tracks we travel north,
Awaiting our encounter with the dreaded horse.
With power from the blackest ale,
The metal cowboys will prevail.
The legend of the black horse,
The hunt was in full force.
