Golden Age Of Leather - Blue Oyster Cult[00:00:00]
Raise your can of beer on high[00:00:01]
And seal your fate forever[00:00:05]
Our best years have past us by[00:00:12]
The golden age of leather[00:00:17]
This was the night not long to come[00:00:37]
In the year of our Lord A D [00:00:40]
Where in a desert way-house poised on the brink of eternity[00:00:44]
Four and ninety studded horsemen closed the knot of honor[00:00:51]
As only drunken soldiers can[00:00:57]
And passed from man to man[00:01:04]
A wanton child to dead to care[00:01:07]
That each would find his pleasure as he might[00:01:10]
For this fantastic night was billed[00:01:16]
As nothing less than the end of an age[00:01:20]
A last crusade[00:01:24]
A final outrage[00:01:26]
In this day of flaccid plumage[00:01:27]
And there was worn no cloth but leather[00:01:31]
Made supple by years of stinging cinders[00:01:37]
And here were seen the scars of age[00:01:43]
For age had been the common call for one last night together[00:01:49]
Dawn colored the sky The ritual ceased[00:02:32]
Some had died They were buried with their bikes[00:02:44]
Each grabbed a rag From a man with a sack[00:02:55]
Torn strips of color The red and the black[00:03:07]
I cam here willingly[00:03:31]
And I will go down valiantly[00:03:43]
We made a vow[00:03:53]
To give it all we had to give[00:03:56]
We made a vow[00:03:59]
To die as we had lived[00:04:02]
They flew the colors they began to fight[00:04:18]
They flailed at each other like bugs at a light[00:04:21]
Bodies and bikes beyond repair[00:04:23]
Smell of oil and gas in the air[00:04:26]
Then the wind whipped the desert with a giant hand[00:04:35]
And the humans and the Harleys caught the shifting sand[00:04:37]
The old ranger weathered the storm[00:04:46]
And he topped the rise by the middle of morn[00:04:49]
He saw rippled dunes[00:04:52]
Calm and surreal[00:04:54]
And a glint of a solitary shaft of chromium steel[00:04:56]
Golden age[00:05:09]
