Night Riders
Stromkern Lyrics

Well I dreamed this night a thousand times
The singer has had this same dream many times, but never anticipated the impact it would have on them.

But I never knew that I'd be burning inside
The dream has filled the singer with a burning passion.

In the moment when we decide
The crucial moment where decisions are made for the innocent and guilty.

If the innocent live and the guilty die
The destiny of the innocent and the guilty rests in those decisions.

Unforgiven, unrestrained
The brutal outcome of the decision-making process.

And we're burning on down like an acid rain
The consequences of the decision are disastrous.

Raise the darkness and expose their lies
The singer seeks to uncover hidden truths.

Night riders in the western skies
The title characters of the song represent those who take action at night.

I can't believe it's true but
The artist can't fathom the current events.

Devotion's on the rise and they're looking for you
The artist is being hunted by those with unwavering beliefs.

Burning bright like a thousand suns and
The passion and fervor of the pursuers is overwhelming.

We'll never stop until we're sure we've won
The pursuers will not cease their efforts until they achieve their goal.

And there's revolution in the air tonight
A revolutionary moment is upon the singer and their surroundings.

And I don't need nothing 'cause I know that I'm right
The singer is confident in their convictions without external validation.

This scenario
The current situation at hand.

In the wreck of souls, well so who have you told
In the chaos of the moment, who can you trust and rely on?

Call it chance or call it fate
The outcome of the situation can be attributed to either chance or predetermined fate.

Just remember that it's never too late
It's not too late to change the course of events.

Restrict somatic delusion
Avoid distraction and focus on the reality at hand.

Destroy prosodic illusion
Don't be swayed by misleading or persuasive language.

Uphold evoke and desire
Hold on to what's important to you even in the face of adversity.

Absorb the voice of the fire
Listen and learn from those who share your passion.

Can't hope to combat the motion
The current momentum of events is unstoppable.

Can't stop the feedback devotion
The fervent supporters are unwavering in their loyalty.

Can't stop it, tried but it continues
Efforts to halt the movement have been futile.

Transcend it or be consumed
Either rise above the situation or succumb to it.

And in the wreck of failed diplomacy
Diplomatic efforts have failed, leading to chaos.

Challenge order well I'll follow your lead
The artist is willing to follow those who are willing to challenge the status quo.

Just a few more steps and then you're free
There's hope for escape or peace after a few more obstacles are overcome.

But you'll never know 'cause they don't want you to see
Those in power are keeping the truth hidden from the masses.

On target and we're flying blind
The singer has a goal, but is unsure of how to achieve it.

And I'm scared to look because I know what I'll find
The artist is afraid of the harsh reality that awaits them.

Never knew that it would end this way
The artist did not anticipate such disastrous consequences.

Watching paradise go down in flames but
The artist witnesses their world being destroyed.

I won't give up, I won't give way
The singer is steadfast and will not give up or give in.

In the moment of truth I won't surrender my name
Even in the face of death, the artist will not compromise their identity.

Because there's no more limits and no more fear
The singer has transcended their limitations and overcome their fear.

Because I know that the end is near
The singer senses that the conclusion of their story is imminent.
