Fog rolls over the plains
Silent as the dead
On horseback made of steel
Wicked eyes ablaze
Redemption it does seek
A thirst unquenchable
White lines ripped off the road
Fast as solar flares
Ride on through the night
A castaway
Racing past bolts of lightning
For those who cross its path
There's no escape
Cannot defeat the midnight rider
Born into legend when
The earth began to change
Once was a man's life
Tossed to oblivion
Fury within him grew
Anger all that was left
And with each life taken
It sped the transition
Ride on through the night
A castaway
Racing past bolts of lightning
For those who cross its path
There's no escape
Cannot defeat the midnight rider
On, onward it rides away
Ride pass the graves
And the cries of the dead
On, onward it rides again
Beyond the hope of to find salvation
