The Sound Of Eight Hooves

Lyrics

He's running through woods so black
 A loyal servant of Christ
 Dogs are barking down his back
 He's running for his life
 He came with words of love and peace
 These heathens had to be saved
 He thought that he could make them see
 Instead he was enslaved
 In captivity he spoke of God
 To all he met he preached
 But when his master's patience ran out
 He knew he had to flee
 Tears are running down his cheeks
 As he sobbing realize
 That in this land his god is weak
 And today he's going to die
 To die
 He stumbles out onto an open field
 Where an old oak tree grows
 In the branches hang men of three
 Dressed in preacher robes
 His knees refuse to carry him on
 Terror shines in his eyes
 His faith in Christ is almost gone
 His god's left him to die
 Below the dead he says his prayers
 To the god he thought was alive
 When he hears a calm voice say
 "Shut him up and hang him high"
 As his breath leaves his eyes open wide
 A bright light comes from above
 He greets this light with a smile
 And thinks there is a god
 The sound of eight hooves reaches his ears
 Comes from the heavenly light
 Two wolves' howls fill his heart with fear
 And he sees two ravens fly
 Down from the sky a warlord rides
 Like fire his one eye glows
 And just before the preacher dies
 He knows his god is false
