By the first rays of dawn, I rise up by the cold morning light,
 And I'm on my way
 Soon the sound of my horse will be breaking the silence of a brand new day

 No one can see my face as I hide in the dark of my jet black cloak
 Nor a man or a child could ever know why I ride by their homes

 For I bring the truth to all who will
 Be wise enough to hear the words I speak
 But no one seems to believe

 Call me madman, I bring you madness
 Call me seer, I bring you fears
 I am the Messenger, I am the messenger
 No one believes but I speak the truth

 Tragedy is what all mankind will surely reach, It's meant to be
 Hear my words, I warn you all of the coming end, you must believe

 For I received a gift of prophecy
 A mission I must fulfill, Chosen to bring the word that no man will believe

 Call me madman, I bring you madness
 Call me seer, I bring you fears
 I am the Messenger, I am the messenger
 No one believes but I speak the truth

 Every day life is passing me by
 Far away I long for the day I will finally
 Find peace from all this refrain
 But now I must ride on my way

 Call me madman, I bring you madness
 Call me seer, I bring you fears
 I am the Messenger, I am the messenger
 No one believes but I speak the truth
 I am the Messenger, I am the messenger
 You will believe when death reaps you all
