"The Midnight Rider"

Fuck it, I'll go ahead and say it,
because the darkness comes
as the lights fading

Look at the world, it's overrated;
look at the course its taken, the
futures being abated

So just take it, claim your stake
in it; just take it, stake your claim
and hope it'll stick

If I cried wolf would you believe
me; if I cried wolf would you want
proof... something tangible for
your eyes to see

Fuck it, I'll go ahead and relay it,
and be the...

"Paul Revere," of this generation,
not delaying

Cause Midnight's here and...

The hoards are coming; those
who desire to be new overlords
are presently moving among us

Fuck it, I'll be your living proof;
my life will bear witness to the
truth

Look at the world, it's overrated;
look at the course its taken, the
futures being abated

So just take it, claim your stake
in it; just take it, stake your claim
and hope it'll stick

If I cried wolf would you believe
me; if I cried wolf would you want
proof... something tangible for
your eyes to see

Fuck it, I'll be your living proof;
my life will bear witness to the
truth

"Most times People can't receive
 the Truth, even when it's right in
 their Face; even then they won't
 accept it until it Slaps from their
 Mouths the Fucking Taste,"
