lyrics

LONE RIDER

The Rider, son of the dawn,
like a small black dot in the light.
He came from east on his wild black horse
suddenly appeared in a fading night

The sun rose up on the sleeping town
thousand faces opened up their eyes
every man an expression
everyone a story in the morning light

Lone Rider they don't want your life
They don't need your liberty
Lone Rider they don't know your name
They're so blind ‘n’ can't see your face
No Rider they don't want your time
They don't want your time at all

The sun rose up hot and merciless
the man and the horse on the top of the hill
looking down at the town, down at the crowd
under midday sun, people burning

Lonely men living much too tight
packed together and swarming,
lonesome men standing side by side
strangers amidst strangers like him

Lone Rider they don't want your life
They don't need your liberty
Lone Rider they don't know your name
They're so blind ‘n’ can't see your face
No Rider they don't want your time
They don't want your time at all

The sun took rest deep down in the west
A new day lost under a purple sky
the man on the horse, high on the hill
like a small black patch fading in the light

when night laid rule on the swarming crowd
he rode to the west towards the sun.
Behind the hill the sprawling crowd
was only a murmur in the dark
only a murmur in the dark
only a murmur in the dark

Lone Rider they don't want your life
They don't need your liberty
Lone Rider they don't know your name
They're so blind ‘n’ can't see your face
No Rider they don't want your time
They don't want your time at all
