In a steel beast of burden
Am I predator or prey
I ride the midnight highway
I shun the light of day

I rev it to the limit
Pass by in the night
I look for the horizon
That's just beyond my sight

I'm living in your nightmare
It's just my fantasy
I toy with your emotions
I'm never what you see

You watch me in your mirror
I hide behind your eyes
You hear my every whisper
I tell you only lies

I'm a beast of burden
I'll devour you whole
And I'll crush your soul
I'm the enemy of your mind

I'm a beast of burden
Prey upon your fears
And I'll smash your tears
Turn a lamb into a lion

If I should pass by on the highway tonight
Surrender to me any way that you like
You won't know I'm there
I'm your hopeless despair
From behind your eyes
My own eyes will stare
