Terror Ride

THIS IS A NATION OF PREDATION
UPON THE PURIFIED PATH AVOWED
IN PRIMAL RAGE AS YOU RATTLE YOUR CAGES
VISCERA CAST TO A RAVENOUS CROWD

WE'RE HEADED BREAKNECK TOWARDS A TRAIN WRECK
FORSAKING HONOR FOR A VAST CHARADE
EVER DESCENDING TOWARDS THE ENDING
WE FILLED A PRISON FOR THE BASTARD GOD

TERROR RIDE IT'S A KICK IN THE SIDE
FOR THE WICKED DELIGHT
TO DENY EVERY TORTURED LIE
THROUGH THE LURID DEMISE  

TERROR RIDE UNJUSTIFIED
DRIVEN OUT OF THE LIGHT
AS YOU CRY WILL THE DARKNESS DIE 
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES

A SHOW OF CARING FOR THE MASS DESPAIRING
THE SANCTIMONIOUS ON DISPLAY  
WHOSE CRUDE MORALITY IN TOTALITY
ASSURED TO WITHER IN THE GLARE OF THE DAY  

THERE'S NO SOLUTION NOR ABSOLUTION
ANOTHER ACTIVE SHOOTER THRILL
THE CONDESCENDING HAVE STOPPED PRETENDING
MORE THAN A SLIVER OF TIME TO KILL
	
TERROR RIDE IT'S A KICK IN THE SIDE
FOR THE WICKED DELIGHT
TO DENY EVERY TORTURED LIE
THROUGH THE LURID DEMISE  

TERROR RIDE UNJUSTIFIED
DRIVEN OUT OF THE LIGHT
AS YOU CRY WILL THE DARKNESS DIE 
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR EYES

OPEN YOUR EYES
