Power Armor Ride

[Verse 1]
Out past the broken mill
Dust on the gravel road
Mothers shut the shutters fast
When the sirens start to growl

Old dog low by the porch
Kids press close to the fire
Then a shadow hits the dawn
Steel boots in a line

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the General roll in
In that iron shell of his
Shoulders like a courthouse wall
Eyes set on where the monsters live

[Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride on
Burn the Muties down
Ride on, General, ride on
Lay that terror down
We held the line all day
You turned the fear around
Ride on, General, ride on
Save this Commonwealth town

[Verse 2]
Power fists on jagged bones
Laser fire in the rain
Squad moved like a thunderhead
Cutting through the pain

Muties howled in the fields
Then they broke and ran
Every gate he walked through
Felt like a second chance

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw the General roll in
In that iron shell of his
Shoulders like a courthouse wall
Eyes set on where the monsters live

[Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride on
Burn the Muties down
Ride on, General, ride on
Lay that terror down
We held the line all day
You turned the fear around
Ride on, General, ride on
Save this Commonwealth town

[Bridge]
Now the smoke drifts westward
But the people sing his name
From the farms to the market road
They remember who came

Not for gold, not for glory
Just a vow made steel
When the dark came stomping in
He showed us how to heal

[Final Chorus]
Ride on, General, ride on
Burn the Muties down
Ride on, General, ride on
Lay that terror down
We held the line all day
You turned the fear around
Ride on, General, ride on
Save this Commonwealth town
