The Headless Horseman

I go like a stone thrown among the buildings
I cross the plains like a silent breath
I go like a flame under the blazing snow
That no one can extinguish
 
I was given neither weapons nor tears in my eyes,
Only this black steel horse and this faceless body
I have the child's soul and the old man's memory
Forever is quite long, when you walk without a heart
 
I am the headless horseman, and I am looking for love
Through the storms, I am looking for daylight
I am looking for the flame that will come and lighten...
My soul
 
From atop my mount, on stairs of mist,
I hear the scream of those men who have lost love
And so I suddenly envy those with a tear in their eye
Who cry for the ocean until they can drown in it
 
He who made me, wanting to make me immortal,
He made the armor invincible - but he forgot the heart
Since my soul was made of shrouded steel,
It is the entire human race that I mourn
 
Aimlessly, from city to city, my friend, I sometimes
Dream of crossing the path of a beloved woman
Who, simply out of love, would share her being
And put some mortality into my sad eternity
 
I am the headless horseman, and I am looking for love
I cross the storms, I am looking for daylight
For I am looking for the flame that will come and lighten...
My soul
My soul
