|
I'm reeling, fighting for breath |
|
Running on empty |
|
A fortress carved out of steel |
|
Black and surrounding |
|
No other survivors, the walls without end, |
|
So where have |
|
I come to? |
|
Welcome, hero, to |
|
Ryker Skies |
|
Where all your hopes are stored |
|
You can leave responsibilities in ruins at the door |
|
Get it knocked into your thick skull |
|
It's really not that hard |
|
It's a cast iron binding covenant |
|
And this is just the start |
|
There are insults and injuries |
|
You've heaped upon yourself |
|
But you play the victim |
|
While you pile the blame on someone else |
|
So before |
|
I state my intention to live or die |
|
I command your total attention |
|
In Ryker Skies |
|
They're unspoken, these accidents, |
|
They leave a bitter twist |
|
It's a no-win situation |
|
But I know you can't resist |
|
In walks trouble without a sound |
|
A deal across his face |
|
He's a won't-stop, screwtop work of art |
|
Mechancal disgrace |
|
So be sure you cast not a shadow |
|
As you walk by |
|
No, you won't be chasing no rainbows |
|
In Ryker Skies |
|
You'll never fly |
|
There was a time, it flashed on by |
|
Nohing to break the iron crown |
|
Tearing imagination down |
|
Strung out and overwhelmed |
|
I've had more than enough |
|
The wings of butterflies are made of sterner stuff |
|
With all those years to kill |
|
I'm yours until... |
|
So before |
|
I state my intention to live or die |
|
I command your total attention |
|
In Ryker Skies |
|
You'll never fly |
|
There was a time, it flashed on by |
|
In Ryker Skies |
