Fanmix: Highlander -- A Pale Horse
Finally, I've finished the mix - my first one to boot:
'Do you know who I was? I was Death. Death on a horse.'
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
(The Bible. Revelation 6:8)

Tom Mcrae - Ghost of a Shark
i'm gonna leave any minute
see the skyline disappear
head out of the city
burn my clothes, bury my fears

'What are you running from? The question or the answer?'

'No, it's not enough! I killed. But I didn't just kill fifty, I didn't kill a hundred. I killed a thousand. I killed ten thousand. And I was good at it. And it wasn't for vengeance. It wasn't for greed. It was because - I liked it.'
John Vanderslice - Pale Horse

Saybia - Bend the Rules
i’m used to being scared, from time to time
used to redefining, my way of life
'cause nothing really stays the same
nothing ever will
but lately I have come, to realise
that voice inside my head, belongs to me
now everything is pros, and cons
ignorance is gone
i’m clinging to my time
'Methos: Silas, for two thousand years we’ve lived without this. We have lived without the blood, the fear, the power.
Silas: And for two thousand years I’ve dreamed of the day when we would ride again.'

we might as well
for all i know of you now
