[Verse 1]
I left the ash gates open
At the edge of my home
Boots full of iron dust
And a map of broken stone
The moon hung pale and severed
Over fields of blackened glass
I heard the world behind me
Fall apart too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile
Took my name
Every prayer
Turned to flame
I kept walking
Through the pain
To the border
Of the same
[Chorus]
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
On the road to oblivion
I burn inside
Take my crown
Take my breath
I am marching
Into nothing left
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
[Verse 2]
I crossed the lake of whispers
Where the dead won’t look away
Faces in the water
Mouthing words I could not say
A wolf with silver eyes
Ran beside me through the frost
I fed it all my fear
And still I never lost
[Pre-Chorus]
Because the night
Knows my vow
I am not
Turning now
Hear the thunder
In my blood
I will meet
The final flood
[Chorus]
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
On the road to oblivion
I burn inside
Take my crown
Take my breath
I am marching
Into nothing left
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
[Bridge]
If the sky should crack open
Let it call my name
If the gates are empty
I will enter them the same
No hand to save me
No throne to find
Only the last horizon
And the fire in my mind
[Final Chorus]
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
On the road to oblivion
I burn inside
Take my crown
Take my breath
I am marching
Into nothing left
On the road to oblivion
I ride, I ride
On the road to oblivion
I rise, I rise
