Steel Wings Over Midnight

[Intro]

[Dual guitars harmonizing a soaring melody

Bass galloping under]

[Verse 1]

Boot prints burned in the blacktop

Leather creaks as the gates swing wide

Battle vest full of rusted patches

Old scars

Still alive inside

Hands up high for the first chord

Whole crowd howling my name

I taste blood and cheap beer breathing

Like gasoline on the flame

[Chorus]

Steel wings over midnight

Hear the roar as we climb

I was born for this stage light

I won't fall

I won't hide

Steel wings over midnight

Pull me straight through the fire

If this ride ends at sunrise

Let me go a little higher (higher!)

[Verse 2]

Neon sign on a cracked brick building

Sweat drips cold on the mic

My brother’s grin from the left side

Screaming

“Take the run

I’ll take the strike”

Necks bend back as the notes rise

Two blades

Carving the sky

Every bend is a war cry breaking

Every dive

One more try

[Chorus]

Steel wings over midnight

Hear the roar as we climb

I was born for this stage light

I won't fall

I won't hide

Steel wings over midnight

Pull me straight through the fire

If this ride ends at sunrise

Let me go a little higher (higher!)

[Bridge]

We trade the lead

Like passing flame

He calls my name

I answer shame-free (yeah!)

One more run

Up past the frame

If I crack

Let it break me clean

[Chorus]

Steel wings over midnight

Hear the roar as we climb

I was born for this stage light

I won't fall

I won't hide

Steel wings over midnight

Pull me straight through the fire

If this ride ends at sunrise

Let me go a little higher (higher!)

Steel wings over midnight

Ride these strings till we die
