Wine-red blood streaks across the sky
As another long day lays down to die
The evening is cool, not too cold
An eerie feeling begins to take hold
A black leather clad fever dream
Riding this lightning suicide-machine
Built from black metal and sleek chrome
Many ghosts follow, but I ride alone
So many thoughts, memories, dreams
Out here they’re nothing, they fall through the seams
I can out-run them, if I try
So I ride so fast I’m starting to fly
Into that streak of blood red sky
A hint of blue as the sky starts to cry
I ride toward that blood red death
With anticipation and bated breath
Red taillights glare hot ahead
Like lanterns dragged by the souls of the dead
My snarling beast glints black as night
Chrome shining silver like early moonlight
The lights of town flicker ahead
They chase off the dreams and clear my head
Yes the warm streetlights have their say
And they remind me of the coming day
So I get home, take off my boots
Sit down inside as my soul slowly droops
And sit and dream of the next time
I can race the sun to die in the sky
