Life it's not just who it's what to be

Just like the friends to me

They always seem to put you down

So listen not to them

And like your neighbor who's got it made

Don't put no hold on you!

Just listen once and then you'll find



[Chorus]

Rider in the shadows

Drawing near

Rider in the shadows



Burns this life of yours

Is not to yearn

So just keep the tricks to yourself

And let the others hope to find

The key to your success

And always keep respect in line

And listen to yourself

Just listen twice and then you'll find



[Chorus]

Rider In the shadows

Drawing near

Rider In the shadows

Drawing near



Burning sands of holding time, no defense

Doesn't matter what you find

There's no defense

Just a matter of your time

You'll obey to me



[Chorus]

Rider in the shadows

Drawing near

Rider in the shadows

Drawing near

Rider in the shadows

Rider in the shadows



They're drawing near
