[singer A] Riding blacktop under sodium glare Razor wires hum in the cold night air Steel on steel, and the engines scream Born for the road in a leather dream Strike in the dark, a warning blaze Iron and thunder in a midnight haze Riff and hammer, the amps run hot The night's our kingdom, ready or not [transition] [singer B] Circuit board dreams under neon skies Digital pulse in your vacant eyes Chrome reflection, a synthetic gleam Living out a pixelated dream Flash in the dark, a silent scream Light to dark, a waking dream Static whispers, electric hum The future's calling, where do we come from? [melodic transition] [singer A] Boots hit hard on the factory floor Chain-link rattles at the service door Young blood roaring through the backstreet sound No one’s slowing this machine down Strike in the dark, a warning blaze Iron and thunder in a midnight haze Riff and hammer, the amps run hot The night's our kingdom, ready or not [transition] [singer B] Shadows dance on the concrete floor Another byte lost, forevermore Synthesized laughter, a hollow sound Lost connections, spinning 'round Flash in the dark, a silent scream Light to dark, a waking dream Static whispers, electric hum The future's calling, where do we come from? [melodic transition] [singer A] Runes in the smoke on a scorched-up wall Brass bells ringing like a battle call Tin gods cracking in a pallid room We ride straight through the static gloom The night's our kingdom Iron and thunder... Strike... in the dark... [transition] [singer B] Binary code in a forgotten tongue A signal fading, a song unsung Plastic flowers in a sterile room Escaping shadows, embracing gloom Where do we come from? Light to dark... Flash... in the dark...
