Night Ride Out Of Phoenix - Gillan

The desert air was cold

And the moon was shining bright

As I rode out of Phoenix

There was tension in the night

Someone was walking on my grave

I said I know

That something is happening tonight

A night ride out of Phoenix

In the desert on a skewbald mare

Moon bright shining over Phoenix

A horse walking while the lizards stare

Alone in the night with the bloom of a desert rose

Alone in the night I’m never going home

Alongside on a jet black stallion

Came riding from out of the air

He just smiled and pointed to heaven

And I knew what was waiting there

Scared in the night looking down from a desert sky

Flying in the night watching Phoenix die

Fly

Night ride out of Phoenix

Fly by the Devil’s side

Flying on the vengeance ride

Cold in the night watching Phoenix die

For some reason I’d been chosen

To be a witness to the Devil’s hate

But I knew that those burned in Phoenix

Had left me to a darker fate

Scared in the night looking down from a desert sky

Flying in the night watching Phoenix die

Fly

Night ride out of Phoenix

Fly by the Devil’s side

Flying on the vengeance ride

Cold in the night watching Phoenix die
