Music Machine (Ripper)

[Intro – Crushing riff + low spoken] You're in for a surprise you're in for a shock When the blacktop meets the fog and the old dust starts to talk [Verse One] Out in the west texas town a young cowboy fell in love Something's gotta give before the morning comes He rode into the badlands with a restless feelin deep inside The gambler said the secret is you got to know when to hold em One piece at a time was how he built his ride Highwaymen still travel through the wind and pourin rain Mamas don't let your babies grow up to chase these flames The devil went down lookin for a soul on a stormy night [Verse Two] Spittin venom in the darkness rapid syllables collide Creepin through the back roads with a thuggish kind of vibe Mind playin tricks when the shadows start to whisper lies Sharp tongue twistin like a cyclone in the dead of night Howlin under moonlight every syllable a loaded gun Worldwide flow acceleratin till the break of dawn [Chorus Hook] MUSIC MACHINE! Every ghost still rides with me! From the saddle to the cipher from the blacktop to the sea! MUSIC MACHINE! Feel the thunder in your spine never stop the cadence! [Verse Three] Take my mind take my hand while the riders face the storm Long black veil is fallin over every single thing I see Windin through my veins while the wheels keep screamin on Whiskey nights bring battle cries that light the gasoline Thunder keeps on rollin war machines inside the dream Appalachian wind is howlin through the old forgotten strings Southern gospel voices callin when the reaper spreads his wings Freight train whistle echoes coal smoke fills the air again [Bridge] I'm a metal machine it's close to midnight hear him barkin at the moon Rainbow in the dark keeps shining even through the funeral fire Through the gates of hell we march until we reach the gates of heaven No surrender no retreat the final doctrine stands alone The storm is ragin on across the fields of fallen steel Every war cry every legend every story forged in blood and fire All the voices of the past united in this final brawl The music machine is rollin hear the doctrine call them all [Final Ripper Chaos] MUSIC MACHINE! Every ghost still rides with me! From the saddle to the cipher from the blacktop to the sea! MUSIC MACHINE! Out in the west texas town a restless feelin deep inside Thuggish flow spittin venom rapid fire worldwide I'm a metal machine the storm is ragin on forever The rider rides forever — bow down to the machine! [Outro – Fading into acoustic wind] He rides where the blacktop meets the dust of forgotten trails The music machine keeps runnin through the endless night Final doctrine forever where the wild spirits still roam Out in the west texas town... something's gotta give...
