Lyrics
Description
— Guitar Solo —
Neon motel flickers at the edge of town,
Old vinyl on the dash keeps that dusty sound.
Engines low and steady like a promise in the dark,
Tire lines on the highway chasing down spark.
Maps been folded wrong but the stars know where we go,
Radio crackles truth and the night begins to flow,
Hands grip the wheel feel the pressure in my veins,
One clean breath then we cut loose from the chains.
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
Burn the hush, drive through the dark.
Chase the edge, don't let it part —
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
She left her note on napkin, take the mountain pass at dawn,
Meet me by the river where the old bridge wraps around.
Headlights paint our silhouettes against the rising sky,
Echoes of our laughter lit like flesh when we fly.
Wrote arms under chrome every mile another page,
Memory in the rear view beholds a marker on the stage,
Betrayed the quiet for a symphony of open air,
Every limit we have run leaves a spark to wear.
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
Burn the hush, drive through the dark.
Chase the edge, don't let it part —
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
Strip it back the world grows small just harden the machine,
Breath and thunder parade it raw and honest evergreen,
Then from beat kinds and the guitars answer like lightning arms.
We fall, we rise, we claim the night, ignite deeper sparks.
Turn the key, feel voltage climb, the dot begins to break,
All the quiet fears we had dissolve in the wake.
This is our keeping, this is our leaving and our start,
The horizon splits in two and lights the way to heart.
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
Burn the hush, drive through the dark.
Chase the edge, don't let it part —
Ride the lightning, feel the spark.
And night's come.
Ride the Lightning, Feel the Spark
