The Rider - Arsenal

Knocked down to the ground, pick me up and brush me down

Got blood, I can’t bleed, sow the witness, I can’t breathe

Don’t dress to express, there’s other muscles I can flex

Don’t care, I’ll cut my hair, just bathing in the dust and molten air

Out here, less is less;

more is much more in this contest

I’ve stopped taking steps 'cause taking giant leaps is best

From dawn to dawn I hear a silent song

Just keep your head down and then carry on

I dream when I wake of all the sleepless nights it takes

To be the faceless man, to keep my head straight in my hand

To listen, not to speak;

not to hide out, but to seek

To keep the single mind, to travel out and leave it all behind

I’ve got hell to pay the spirit in my soul away

To think before I realise I’ve walked upon my final sunrise

From dawn to dawn I hear a silent song

I’ll keep my head down and then carry on

So you keep on moving to the best beat you can

And you keep on moving, and you never stop

'Cause the minute that you stop, everything is lost

And you keep on dancing to the beat of your drum

And you keep on dancing, 'cause you know where that comes from

It’s the beat of your heart

You’re stuck on my road, it rebels like a breaking note

I can’t say no, even if I have to fight too much, or

I have no will, I’ll lose it to the wind and smoke

Even if I have to fight it, there’s no hope

And I’ll be quiet as stone with no one here to talk to while I ride

I’ll make the world my own, with nothing but my hands here at my side

And when the doors slam closed, I have come to rise them open wide

I’ll make the world my own, with nothing but my hands here at my side

So you keep on moving to the best beat you can

And you keep on moving, and you never stop

'Cause the minute that you stop, everything is lost

And you keep on dancing to the beat of your drum

And you keep on dancing, 'cause you know where that comes from

It’s the beat of your heart
