Every year, during Hallow’s End, the Headless Horseman returns to Tirisfal to terrorize the citizens of Azeroth. But this fiend was not always an unholy incarnation of madness & spite. Once, he was known by another name. Once, he was known as Sir Thomas Thomson

LYRICS:

Intro:
Prepare yourselves for a true tale told
Gather ‘round, the young and old
Hallow's End is here at last
To Sing the Song of Thomson’s past

Narrator:
Ah, yes. Its that time of year. Welcome. The days grow cold so come, sit by the candlelight . Let me tell you about a good man who succumbed to madness, a man driven to insanity by loss. You may know him as… the Headless Horseman.
[Horrible Horseman Guffaw]

Verse:
Sir Thomas Thomson was his name
A pumpkin farmer first, by trade
A happy family he did raise
‘pon his farm in Tirisfal Glade

Chorus 1:
The moonlight falls
In Silver Halls
The Order Calls
In Tirisfal

The sky is dark
The fire burns
We strive in vain
as Fate's wheel turns

To the Light sir Tom was drawn
As Shadows fell ‘pon Lordaeron
He had fought by Uther’s side
As Stratholme burned; as last hope died

Yet brave sir Tom still held his blade
He pledged his sword to the Crusade
To serve under Red Lord’s command
In vengeance for the Silver Hand

Chorus 2:
The moonlight falls
In Scarlet Halls
The Crusade Calls
In Tirisfal

The sky is dark
The fire burns
We strive in vain
as Fate's wheel turns


All along, he held one fear;
The lives of those he held most dear
He left his home with one request
To take his fam’ly to the west

But no ship sailed; the family stayed
Tom knew not - in blood they paid

In rage he searched, for scourge to quell
And by his hand his loved ones fell

Chorus 3:
The moonlight falls
In broken halls
The madness calls
In Tirisfal

The sky is dark
The fire burns
We strive in vain as Fate's wheel turns

Grief struck his mind, a mad’ning song
If none was right, then all was wrong
Soon-all that lived had earn’d his ire
A righteous purge by cleansing fire

And on the eve of Wicker’s Flame
Both friend and foe alike were slain
Upon his own, Tom swung his blade
They took his head, his fate was made


Closing Verse:
And in his tomb, did Thomson lie
As shadows coiled, they’d housed a lie
With demon’s blood, to rage a slave
Arose the Horseman from his grave

Final Chorus:
The moonlight falls
In Hallowed Halls
The Horseman calls
In Tirisfal

[GUFFAW]
