Verse 1 Engines breathing in the silent night, Steel hearts beating under fading lights. We leave our homes with a promise unspoken, Photographs worn, mirrors broken. Miles ahead, no end in sight, Rain on the glass, shadows in flight. The road remembers every tear we hide, Every farewell swallowed by pride. Pre-Chorus Cold asphalt beneath our souls, Time keeps turning, never slows. We carry more than load and pain, We carry love inside the chain. Chorus We are the dark riders of the road, Bound by fire, carrying the load. Through storm and fear, we stand as one, Till the rising of the sun. No crown of gold, no holy throne, Just diesel prayers and hearts of stone. We ride the night, we don’t belong, But the road knows our name. Verse 2 Radio whispers a distant voice, Another border, another choice. Cities sleep while we’re wide awake, Living lives the brave ones take. Hands are cracked, eyes burning low, But forward still, we always go. For every child waiting back home, We turn the wheel and face the unknown. Pre-Chorus Ghosts of miles inside our heads, Dreams delayed, but never dead. In every scar, a story told, In every rider, fire and soul. Chorus We are the dark riders of the road, Bound by fire, carrying the load. Through storm and fear, we stand as one, Till the rising of the sun. No crown of gold, no holy throne, Just diesel prayers and hearts of stone. We ride the night, we don’t belong, But the road knows our name. Bridge (Epic / Breakdown) If we fall, we fall as brothers, Steel and blood, one for the others. No chains can break this rolling fate, Dark riders standing at heaven’s gate. Final Chorus We are the dark riders of the road, Marked by time, forged in the cold. From Portugal to lands unknown, Every mile a soul we’ve grown. When silence comes and engines rest, We’ll face the dawn, we’ve passed the test. We ride the night, forever strong, Dark riders… moving on. Outro The road is long… But we ride it free.
