Lyrics:
[Intro]
They say he rides again…

Lanterns shake like guilty eyes,
Every lie rides tonight.
⸻

[Verse 1 ]
I rode out
chasing reason’s light,
Through fields that whispered
“don’t look right.”
A schoolhouse mind, a skeptic tongue,
Where gospel ghosts still kept me young.
The bridge ahead,
the woods behind,
Each branch a question in my mind.
I mocked their myths
with teacher’s pride—
But laughter dies when logic rides.
⸻

Faith can’t save the man who thinks—
Belief bites harder than it blinks.

[Chorus]
Head count,
how many fears tonight?
One horse, 
no face,
no light.
You can outrun truth till your lantern dies,
But the headless ride never lies.
Count your doubts,
they’re all you own—
Every myth demands its throne.
Head count,
one more ghost to prove,
Lose your mind
to the move.
⸻

[Verse 2]
The bridge was there,
then gone in smoke,
The sky split open,
something spoke.
Faithless man,
you fed their lore,
Now ride, professor... 
think no more.
Pumpkin grin and saber flash,
Hooves like thunder, teeth like ash.
I prayed to math, I prayed to chance—
Both refused the dance.
⸻

[Bridge]
Head down,
don’t look back,
The horseman rides the scholar’s track.
Truth is fear
you can’t subtract—
Head down, don’t look back.

Logic bled, belief attacked—
He took my mind and gave it back.
⸻

[Final Chorus]
Head count,
no one left to find,
They say I lost more than my mind.
Now every story keeps me fed,
A candle where my head once bled.
Count your fears before they speak—
The rational die this superstitious week.
Head count,
my lesson’s taught,
The truth was just what fear had bought.

[Prog/Metal] Head Count (7/4)

You are getting powerful
You are getting strong
You have awaken me
To show you belong

To me
You will see
The leader you called before
Was a demon
Drugging your feet

To move
To walk
To be
To see
The blood you bleed
Will learn to be free

For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me

I'm glad 
You are safe
I'm glad you 
Are wise
Beware
Of that fake demon
Every day and 
Every night

He tricked your soul
Pretending to love
He tricked your soul
Making you feel old

For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me

What are you doing 
With that sword I see
Why are you pointing it 
Directly at me

He still has your soul
Can't you see it
He still has your soul
You need to believe it

For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me

Don't forget
I am the one
Don't forget
I am the one

For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me

For the
For the

For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me

For the
For the

Power has awakened
You belong to me
The power has awakened
You have summoned me
