The Dark Rider

Cowboy's coming, storm in his eyes
Town to town, spreading fear and lies
Steel in his hand, blood on his mind
In this twisted game, no mercy you'll find

Boots hit the ground, a harbinger of dread
Innocence shattered, dreams painted red
He plunders, he kills, leaves nothing but ash
In the wake of his terror, lives turn to trash

Bounty on his head, a price for his capture
But who can catch a demon, a master of rapture?
Sheriffs fall, lawmen break
In his shadow, every soul will quake

He rides into town, a phantom in the night
Silent and deadly, a bringer of fright
No safe haven, no place to hide
In this dark tale, hope has long died

From saloons to homes, he leaves his mark
A trail of destruction, a world turned dark
Gold and silver, he takes with glee
But it's the fear in their eyes, that sets him free

Wanted posters, faces pale with fear
But the Dark Rider's legend, only grows near
He laughs at the law, mocks their plight
In this endless chase, he owns the night

No redemption, no final stand
Just a cursed cowboy, ruling the land
Town to town, his darkness spreads
In his wake, only the dead

Shadows stretch long as
He rides through the dust
A devil's grin, driven by lust
For chaos, for pain, for the world's despair
In his presence, only nightmares flare

Children cry, mothers weep
In his wake, no soul can sleep
Fires burn, homes collapse
In his heart, a blackened lapse

He rides alone, a specter of doom
In every town, he seals their tomb
Echoes of screams, the smell of fear
In his twisted mind, all is clear

He craves the hunt, the endless chase
In a world where darkness finds its place
No bonds to break, no ties to sever
In his realm, he reigns forever

Wanted dead, no bounty alive
In this dance of death, none survive
Posters fade, but the legend grows
Of the Dark Rider, whose evil flows

No hero rises, no savior comes
In the land of shadows, the dark
Drum hums
He rides on, a ghost in the night
Spreading terror, stealing light

The townsfolk whisper, in hushed tones
Of the cowboy's curse
His heart of stones
Prayers unanswered, hope long gone
In this endless night, he rides on

From dusk till dawn, his reign persists
In his grip, every soul twists
No redemption, no light to find
In the Dark Rider's world, all is blind
