Lyrics

Deathrider

[Intro]

Woah!

[Verse 1]

Riding hard, high in the saddle

A winged steed of unwearing flight

Sweeping through air just like fire

Swift of the foot, great of might

[Chorus]

Hear the screams (Ah!)

Feel the bite

We ride with death

Tonight

[Verse 2]

Conquering all, spreading terror

Hoofs gallop in thunderous pound

Devouring the souls of the wretched

Trampling them down to the ground

[Chorus]

Hear the screams (Ah!)

Feel the bite

We ride with death

Tonight

[Bridge]

Here it comes

You better hide

Shoot the guns

You're gonna die

[Guitar Solo: Dan Spitz]

(Ah, yeah!)

[Verse 3]

Gripping the reins of destruction

Spikes made of steel on his hands

Holder of forces immortal

Slaughtering all in his path

[Chorus]

Hear the screams (Ah!)

Feel the bite

We ride with death

Tonight

[Guitar Solo: Dan Spitz]
