Ride
Testament · Low [1994]
A trick for a fix and feeling so sick; just can't seem to get right
Once he was the king of his world, a world without any order
Sold it all without thinking twice just for a spoonful of water
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
Ceremonious ritual raising of the veins
Always early and feeling so late; waving goodbye to the rain
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
Slowly scratching away at the world; fearless when he is stoned
Obsessed by dreams of what could've been; trapped in his kingdom alone
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
Ride! Ride on through
Ride! Ride through you
-- Ride.!.
