Yea this song is old i didn't even know they had cd's back in 91 i hadn't even gotten my first Walkman then. I did get a new Sega Genesis that year man i loved that game system me and Sonic had many hours of great fun together and really that sounded wrong. I think i still have it in my closet somewhere but that's not important. Anyway sound quality is better on this one then on Creature of the Wood but still a little bit dodgy.

Black Unicorn

I am he that knocks on your windowpane,
I am he that stalks the night
I am he with silver shot through my mane,
you'll dream of me with fire-eyes bright
If you ever meet me standing there,
you'll wish that you were never born
I'll seize your soul and strip it bare,
I am the Black Unicorn

My horn is forged of silver fire,
my shoulders bear leathern wings
I am the nightmare of your own desire,
I am the song that the Devil sings
Hellfire dancing in my eyes,
my coat is as black as coal
Mortals are so quick to hypnotize,
and then I merely take your soul

Teeth sharp as daggers cooled in the snow,
and hooves that burn through the ground
Follow me not where I lead you to go,
for then your soul will be devil-bound
There is but one who rides my back,
and keeps his soul ever free
His heart is cold and will not crack,
and he is as cursed as me

I am he that knocks on your windowpane,
I am he that stalks the night
I am he with silver shot through my mane,
you'll dream of me with fire-eyes bright
If you ever meet me standing there,
you'll wish that you were never born
I'll seize your soul and strip it bare,
I am the Black Unicorn

ummm fail, those are night mare, not black unicorns there are thousands of black unicorn pix, fail epic fail. u can do better, but heather alexander would be shamed for this vid

[KitsuneOokamiYasha]

@DexCloud The only reason i put any pics is because i was bored and wanted to look at something i didn't put a lot of effort in to it. I usually don't put any pics except for the album cover i upload these songs not because i want to show off pictures, but so others can enjoy songs you really don't hear anymore. If you want a nice music video with these songs make your own or look somewhere else i will be the first to admit i suck at making music vids i just don't have the patience for it.

I love the fire horse pictures.

If you still have them, expecially the ones like 1:56 or 2:21 could you lend them to me? My book is about a fire horse, and I've been looking as many pictures as I can.

@nera789 Sorry i deleted them when i bought a new computer and was switching it all over however you can find most of them by doing searches on Deviant Art for things like Fire Horse, Hell Horse, Black Unicorn, Hell Steed, and Nightmare Horse.

@Leathurkatt I got some other guy saying heather alexander wrote this, but I'm sorry. no disrespect, but I can say I'm best friends with morgana la fae, but it doesn't mean that I am. I like the song, and I'm all for the darker side of unicorns *grimdark brony*

[Demonofthedarknight]

the devil is the only one who can ride a black unicorn

[Ryooken]

@KitsuneOokamiYasha There is no need to respond these pics match the song almost perfectly.  Very nice job!

so cooooool!!!!



[Rilbur]

This is a great song, thanks for putting this video up. And, whatever others think, I like your selection of photos. They show a degree of imagination in what an 'evil unicorn' might look like. Yeah, I used the all-but-forbidden 'I' word!

[Rilbur]

@Leathurkatt You know 'Heather' personally, huh? Methinks that however accurate your position might be, your support shows up a little weak. (Then again, I suppose you're just avoiding confusion...) Still, it's a great song.

[Leathurkatt]

@roarsabimaru Actually, no it's not. It's about a devil unicorn, literally. Heather wrote it mostly as a tongue-in-cheek "protest" against the cutesy unicorn craze from the 1980's. I know Heather personally thus I know the actual story behind it.

[Leathurkatt]

@StarSongwiz And by the way, Nightmares don't have horns or wings, incidentally. Nightmares have fire mane, tail, hooves, eyes, and breath on an otherwise black, gaunt and almost skeletal body. **winks**

[Leathurkatt]

@StarSongwiz I personally know the woman who wrote and sang this song and I also know the story about why she wrote it. She was sick of the cutesy fluffy white unicorns that were all the rage in the 80's and this song was written in the wake of that as a kind of tongue-in-cheek "protest" against the "Unicorn Everything Craze". **chuckles** I love this song, and it is in fact called "Black Unicorn". This version appeared on the hard to find "Phoenix - Keepers of the Flame" album.
