ROAD KILLERS



Road killers hunt the savage night
Hoping soon to make another kill,
Midnight riders with no respect
In the pitch black, hunting thrills.

Evil bikers corrupting twilight
Killers questing after darkfall,
Ravaging all women they find
Cruelly murdering one and all.

Roaring through the darkness
These bikers straight from Hell,
Enthrall a sleeping township
As is under the Devil's own spell.

Raping all women and children
Brutally slaughtering all the men,
Burning all buildings to the ground
Then roaring off into the night again.

Terrorising late-night drivers
As they maraud through the dark,
Roaring down roads and alleyways
Hunting through forests and parks.

Road killers hunt the savage night
Around a fear-travelled town,
They're riding on an awful highway
A highway surely heading down.

On the Devil's own expressway
Death riders are roaring along,
Reducing the weak to mewling cries
And slowly eviscerating the strong.

Doing Satan's malignant work
Road Killers haunting the night,
Raping every woman they find
Exterminating all things they sight.
