Lyrics
The road’s called "Progress Freeway"
Runs from Oblivion to Nowhere
The six lanes run forever
You just face ahead an’ stare
Across bridges of illusion
Through them tunnels of despair
No time to wait….it’s far too late
The fear’s already there….the fear’s already there
CHORUS
Composite….an opposite
A number on a name
The inferno’s fire is bein’ fanned
The freeway’s engulfed in flames
No detour round the furore
Satan occupies Canaan
An inflictions….contradiction….
You’re just a rider in the rain….
Rider in the rain
Runnin’ in the wrong lane
A rider with no name
When you don’t know you bein’ framed
You just a rider in the rain
Runnin’ in the wrong lane
Thunder through the midnights
Hailin’ rain keeps beatin’ in
For the riders there’s no shelter
From the howlin’ driven wind
Beside the freeway in the darkness
Are the monuments to pain
Beyond are the hidden tombstones
Where the wreaths of peace are lain
Where the wreaths of peace are lain….
Outside in the rain
Truth eludes the reptile
Prophets preach to empty caves
Inquisitions execute the healers
There’s nothin’ left to save
Except the inertia of the Freeway
An’ the riders on the run
Look behind see that "Freeway’s Time"
Is driven with a loaded gun
It’s driven with a loaded gun
Keep you on the run
