Midnight Rider

i got a one way ticket to the gates of the afterlife

i got a soul of black and im haunted by the night

i gain no redemption and there will be no release

the phantom king i am, the curse is me

im on the crossroads sellin' my soul to play the blues

yeah, i'm the midnight runner, too fasl for all the rules

now i gotta seek revenge alone, of chain and flame,

of bone, iron and stone

oh lord enlighten me, the curse too much to take

all that reveals to me, will move out of my way

i was into the night, from the darkness enlight

give way for the midnight rider, broken iron and steel

the fire revealed, the way of the midnight rider

the cross along that road belongs to me

another dead body bound to die flames of kerosene

without forgiveness it's feeding my machine

with the souls of the fallen and the ghosts of the unseen

into death or glory and i'm hiding from the grave

i am die death cage runner in a black down under race

i am the man, the dealer with the dead

horn to raise my tombstone at the end

no light awakens me, revenge to all i seek

another serenade, of blackness feeds my need

i was into the night ...

im alone, im the night

im the black rider falling apart from die light

im unborn, im alive, won't forgive anything

till i claim for my right - no

i was into the night ...

i am the man of the broken heart

i am the man of the broken light

i am the man of the broken highway

i am on my way to the midnight ride again
