In a steel best of burden
Am I predator or prey?
I ride the midnight highway
I shun the light of day.
I rev it to the limit.
Pass by in the night.
I look for the horizon.
That’s just beyond my sight.
I’m living in your nightmare.
It’s just my fantasy.
I toy with your emotions
I’m never what you see.
You watch me in your mirror.
I hide behind your eyes.
You hear my every whisper.
I tell you only lies.
I’m a beast burden.
I’ll devour you whole and I’ll crush your soul.
I’m the enemy of your mind.
I’m a beast of burden
Prey upon your fears and I’ll smash your tears
Turn a lamb into a lion.
If I should pass by on the highway tonight.
Surrender to me any way that you like
You won’t know I’m there, I’m your hopeless despair.
From behind your eyes, my own eyes will stare.
