The sun begins to set The darkness soon will cover Red and pink streaks are seen in the West A black sky is seen in the East Birds settle down into their snug nests. Rabbits, mice, and other small rodents hide in ther holes For fear of being the night's victims Owls wake, feeling their strength return Other hideous and unknown creatures Feed their strength from the darkness Silence covers the land As the darkness becomes complete A sudden disturbence is felt For all those who are awake to feel it But even the smallest creature who is asleep in bed Can not but help give a small shudder of fear Distant hoof beats are heard They seem to be the footsteps of doom Soon, nine black riders on nine black horses are seen The horses have a dull red fire in their eyes Their hair is as black as the deepest night Not a single hair is white or grey The riders seem to be human Yet an aura of evil seems to be surrounding them Simple rags of black cloth, they are covered with One motions to the rest to keep on riding They go on while this one stops in a small cluster of trees A sniffing noise was heard The only noise that pierced the stillness After what seemed like hours The lone Black Rider kicks its horse into a gallop Slowly, the peace returns to the land And four small child-like folk Come out from hiding
