Route 66, blackest night With no destiny in mind.
Is it a sin to crave the wind against my face then I will Ride this road to hell!
I have no fear except the one that someday I’ll just fade away.
But for now, my wheels will keep turning.
Let me feel invincible! Taunt the devil, give him hell.
For if the next trip ends in fire
At least I am already burning.
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
Roadreaper, take my hand, lead me to the light
As blood and gasoline combine caressed by asphalt, we recite
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
It’s 4am, I try to keep My heavy eyes glued to the street.
This ten ton truck took time to tame
But now I’d steer it in my sleep.
Suddenly, hit the brakes, realizing my mistake.
tires scream but way too late
Cause I’m already off the track.
Refrain
Roadreaper, Pale Rider, Angel with a headlight halo
Lead the way I can’t see where it ends!
Roadreaper, Ditchhiker, Demon with a driver’s license
I give myself into your helping hands.
And now I’ve traveled far and wide
For many years, brought many miles
Between the men I thought I had to be
And who I’m now!
No lover and no family
No-one who would cry for me.
The only hug I’ve ever felt was coming from my safety belt.
I found my place inside a dirty diner booth.
They know my order not my name, I won’t be long.
And I gaze beyond my coffee pot, there’s someone in the parking lot.
A figure dressed in black holds out his hand
My friend I understand!
Refrain
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
Take my hand, lead me to the light.
Can you hear us, we recite.
Roadreaper, show us the way, the highway to ride.
Excellent dark Heavy Metal!
I first encountered them on the Ruhrpott Metal Meeting 2022 and they instantly hit a nerve.

"...Spell liken their music to “hypnotic heavy metal” and it’s a truly spot on description from hem. From the first notes of Tragic Magic to the final ones, it holds you and puts you into a trance like no other that by the end of it you feel different. You gotta sit with what you just heard and soak it in before moving on." Read more on Antifascist Steel: https://tinyurl.com/wd3nfsp karol tolstoy
