[Verse 1]
Staring into the sky
The red glare will blind your eyes
Afraid to see the light
Your fears have spread this plight
No way to kill the power
Behold: our race will die
[Chorus]
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide, nowhere to run
Deathrider's rage is on the loose
Your neck in its eternal noose
[Verse 2]
Our leaders have set the course
Impending world war
Afraid of what's been lost
Your life: the bitter cost
No prayer can stop the third war
Behold the holocaust
[Chorus]
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide, nowhere to run
[Post-Chorus]
Shoot
[Bridge]
As the city burns, I cannot hear your cries
Will our world end in 1999?
A fifteenth-century seer saw us cast
Into the black, death attack
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Afraid to see the light
Your fears have spread this plight
No way to kill the power
Behold: our race will die
[Chorus]
Deathrider comes from above
No place to hide, nowhere to run
Deathrider's rage is on the loose
Your neck in its eternal noose
[Outro]
Oh, yeah, yeah...
