lyrics

I own the road, the engine hums
She knows a song of blood and plunder
She skates the cusp of death and love
Only driven twice on Sundays
Today, alone, I offer this
A pact, an oath, a deal, a gift
No APR is due at signing
Your joy, like me, shall be undying

There’s but for me one enemy
He tried to swallow, tried to feast
Upon my flesh, but was too weak
To crush the thing t’was truly me

And so I spit on him and I say

How you like this ride?
Ain’t it something sweet
To tread upon the beast beneath
A tire on his face
A bat that’s swinging down
To curse the ground and ground him out

Picture yourself on a lonely road, the sky and ground locked in singular combat. Where do you place your allegiance? Where do you place the knife?

The shadows screech, they bound the riff
A light in dark, a gentle lift
Escape his clutches yet again
I’m back once more and here’s the pitch:

Are you ready?

How you like this ride?
Ain’t it something sweet
To tread upon the beast beneath
A tire on his face
A bat that’s swinging down
To curse the ground and ground him out

I will lie with my enemy, I have no fear. I dare the fool that plants me to poison the ground, to salt the earth. I shall break my bonds, no flesh to hold me. I shall rise again to make you an offer you simply cannot refuse: a chance to touch the earth no more. The dirt inglorious. He’s porous, I am victorious.

Shadows pull me under
I shall return triumphant
I submit to no gods judgement
Only coin and plunder
All other gods inferior but let’s get serious
Have you felt this leather interior?
You deserve a ride superior on this plane material
No down payment during the trial period
No more pain, no more dust you: must
Let’s take this baby out and open her up...
