The Rider Songtext

von Arsenal

Knocked down to the ground, pick me up and brush me down
Got blood, I can't bleed, sow the witness, I can't breathe
Don't dress to express, there's other muscles I can flex
Don't care, I'll cut my hair, just bathing in the dust and molten air
Out here, less is less; more is much more in this contest
I've stopped taking steps 'cause taking giant leaps is best
From dawn to dawn I hear a silent song
Just keep your head down and then carry on
I dream when I wake of all the sleepless nights it takes
To be the faceless man, to keep my head straight in my hand
To listen, not to speak; not to hide out, but to seek
To keep the single mind, to travel out and leave it all behind
I've got hell to pay the spirit in my soul away
To think before I realise I've walked upon my final sunrise
From dawn to dawn I hear a silent song
I'll keep my head down and then carry on
So you keep on moving to the best beat you can
And you keep on moving, and you never stop
'Cause the minute that you stop, everything is lost
And you keep on dancing to the beat of your drum
And you keep on dancing, 'cause you know where that comes from
It's the beat of your heart
You're stuck on my road, it rebels like a breaking note
I can't say no, even if I have to fight too much, or
I have no will, I'll lose it to the wind and smoke
Even if I have to fight it, there's no hope
And I'll be quiet as stone with no one here to talk to while I ride
I'll make the world my own, with nothing but my hands here at my side
And when the doors slam closed, I have come to rise them open wide
I'll make the world my own, with nothing but my hands here at my side
So you keep on moving to the best beat you can
And you keep on moving, and you never stop
'Cause the minute that you stop, everything is lost
And you keep on dancing to the beat of your drum
And you keep on dancing, 'cause you know where that comes from
It's the beat of your heart
