Track Insight / Lyrics
Salted wind whisks through cacti spines,
Desert highway stretches out in twines,
Midnight shadows dance on silver shine,
Gritty night air, freedom to design
From Sacromonte to Morena on the west,
I ride my horse, where the eagles nest,
Starving in silence, beneath the crest,
Watchful guardian under cover of the rest
Sweat-soaked leather creaks, waves and stress,
The highway's heartbeat, desert's threats
My steel visage turns back city's mess
Scorched earth tales in my brain's excess
Glimmering blade, in fiery hold,
Cutting through night's black cold,
Watchful protector, bold and free,
Midnight blaze, on this highway
Ghosts of travelers, ancient and worn,
Whispers echo 'round where pavement's forborn,
Coyotes' howls, a mournful tone,
In shadows cast by scrub and stone
The silver road unwinds, a serpentine,
Through arroyos dry, under cacti spines,
Glisten of dew on the creosote line,
Our restless path, beyond the midnight
Glimmering blade, in fiery hold,
Cutting through night's black cold,
Watchful protector, bold and free,
Midnight blaze, on this highway
Inscrutable dots of civilization's glow,
Cities huddle close, in canyons below,
But out here, the void is all I know,
Whispers of old secrets, and places unknown
The hush before dawn, or dusk's flush,
When myth and mystery like a fog rush,
The silver cut of moon, and howling of dogs,
Unnerves the undead, the hidden gods
Glimmering blade, in fiery hold,
Cutting through night's black cold,
Watchful protector, bold and free,
Midnight blaze, on this highway
Salted wind whisks through cacti spines,
Desert highway stretches out in twines,
Midnight shadows dance on silver shine,
Gritty night air, freedom to design.
