Ryker Skies -

I’m reeling, fighting for breath

Running on empty

A fortress carved out of steel

Black and surrounding

No other survivors, the walls without end,

So where have I come to?

Welcome, hero, to Ryker Skies

Where all your hopes are stored

You can leave responsibilities in ruins at the door

Get it knocked into your thick skull

It’s really not that hard

It’s a cast iron binding covenant

And this is just the start

There are insults and injuries

You’ve heaped upon yourself

But you play the victim

While you pile the blame on someone else

So before I state my intention to live or die

I command your total attention

In Ryker Skies

They’re unspoken, these accidents,

They leave a bitter twist

It’s a no-win situation

But I know you can’t resist

In walks trouble without a sound

A deal across his face

He’s a won’t-stop, screwtop work of art

Mechancal disgrace

So be sure you cast not a shadow

As you walk by

No, you won’t be chasing no rainbows

In Ryker Skies

You’ll never fly

There was a time, it flashed on by

Nohing to break the iron crown

Tearing imagination down

Strung out and overwhelmed

I’ve had more than enough

The wings of butterflies are made of sterner stuff

With all those years to kill

I’m yours until…

So before I state my intention to live or die

I command your total attention

In Ryker Skies

You’ll never fly

There was a time, it flashed on by

In Ryker Skies
