about

This song was inspired by a real event that occurred in the 16th century
between the Maclaine’s of Loch Buie and MacLean’s of Duart in Scotland.

lyrics

I wake from dreams of frightening scenes
Of a headless horseman riding
Its an ancient tale of a man and his son
Who fell to feud and fighting

These were people that I come from
I am of there flesh and blood
It’s an ancient place where legends came
For more than a thousand years

chorus:
We’ll make these halls
Ring of their feats and their falls
Be strong and brave let’s not be afraid
To hear their songs

Legend says that it was the son
Who took to fire and sword
To war against his father
On his horse he rode

The headless horseman was Ewen
Of the Little head
His father Ian The Toothless One
Took poor Ewen’s head

chorus

When a prince of Ghille Ian is to die
On the night before
The headless horseman will ride again
For death is at his door

This tragic tale of father and son
who fell to greed and hate
Threw their love to the wayside
And duly sealed their fate

chorus

I wake from dreams of frightening scenes
Of a headless horseman riding
It’s an ancient tale of a man and his son
Who fell to feud and fighting...
