Song Lyrics

(Chorus)
Well I dreamed this night a thousand times
But I never knew that I'd be burning inside
In the moment when we decide
If the innocent live and the guilty die
Unforgiven, unrestrained
And we're burning on down like an acid rain
Raise the darkness and expose their lies
Night riders in the western skies
(/Chorus)

I can't believe it's true but
Devotion's on the rise and they're looking for you
Burning bright like a thousand suns and
We'll never stop until we're sure we've won
And there's revelution in the air tonight
And I don't need nothing 'cause I know that I'm right
Raise the darkness and expose their lies
Night riders in the western skies

This scenario
In the wreck of souls, well so who have you told
Call it chance or call it fate
Just remember that it's never too late

Restrict somatic delusion
Destroy prosodic illusion
Uphold evoke and desire
Absorb the voice of the fire

Can't hope to combat the motion
Can't stop the feedback devotion
Can't stop it, tried but it continues
Transcend it or be consumed

And in the wreck of failed diplomacy
Challenge order well I'll follow your lead
Just a few more steps and then you're free
But you'll never know 'cause they don't want you to see

On target and we're flying blind
And I'm scared to look because I know what I'll find
Never knew that it would end this way
Watching paradise go down in flames but
I won't give up, I won't give way
In the moment of truth I won't surrender my name
Because there's no more limits and no more fear
Because I know that the end is near

(Chorus)
Well I dreamed this night a thousand times
But I never knew that I'd be burning inside
In the moment when we decide
If the innocent live and the guilty die
Unforgiven, unrestrained
And we're burning on down like an acid rain
Raise the darkness and expose their lies
Night riders in the western skies
(/Chorus)

Locked on target and we're flying blind
And I'm scared to look because I know what I'll find
Never knew that it would end this way
Watching paradise go down in flames but
I won't give up, no I won't give way
In the moment of truth I won't surrender my name
Because there's no more limits and no more fear
Because I know that the end is near

I can't believe it's true but
Devotion's on the rise and they're looking for you
Burning bright like a thousand suns and
We'll never stop until we're sure we've won
And there's revelution in the air tonight
And I don't need nothing 'cause I know that I'm right
Raise the darkness and expose their lies
Night riders in the western skies
