Track Insight / Lyrics
He's a radio operator, ghost of the desert line
Mesa vistas stretch as far as his eyes can shine
High voltage hum of his rig, only companion in the night
Lone wolf calls out his final transmission in the fading light
[Pre-
Static crackles on the wires, a ghostly message echoes through
The night is vast, the silence a burden he'll never pursue
He rides the desert wind, heading west, a fugitive from his past
Til his last breath, he'll keep sending, though no one will ever last
Oblivion calls, a siren song of the endless desert night
He'll drive on, a lone star burning out, as the darkness takes flight
The farther he runs, the more he's found, in this chase with his own demise
Oblivion calls, his final destination, the crescent moon his only prize
Canyon walls cast long shadows, skeletal pale beneath the stars
He swallows the open road, a gargoyle riding through the scarred
Glassy-eyed and hollow, he's driven, drunk and stoned on diesel fumes
Endless miles of bone white lines, mirage and desert heat in sweaty rooms
[Pre-
Static crackles on the wires, a ghostly message echoes through
The night is vast, the silence a burden he'll never pursue
He rides the desert wind, heading west, a fugitive from his past
Til his last breath, he'll keep sending, though no one will ever last
Oblivion calls, a siren song of the endless desert night
He'll drive on, a lone star burning out, as the darkness takes flight
The farther he runs, the more he's found, in this chase with his own demise
Oblivion calls, his final destination, the crescent moon his only prize
Distant thunder mutters, flash flood warning alarms scream
Sandstone towers loom ahead, unforgiving and extreme
Gears grind, motor bogs down, a jalopy's last hurrah
He stomps the pedal to the floor, hell bent for Oblivion's gate
Searing bursts of feedback, an unholy marriage of steel
Frantic picking, power chords, the desert demons set sail
Wailing feedback tears the sky, blazing riffs bring down the storm
Whipping up a maelstrom, madness reigns in this clamorous form
Oblivion calls, neon lights ablaze on his final highway quest
He'll drive on, a man possessed, as emptiness closes in like a net
The farther he's gone, the more he's free, in this endless desert chase
Oblivion calls, his final surrender, to face the horizon's endless space
Long after the fire dies, embers glow in the dark
His ghostly rig an icon, haunting a legend left in the sparks
Oblivion's call now silence, and the desert... keeps its secrets
