Lyrics
We all raise a glass in a toast to a friend
Stricken by illness and nearing the end
A finite horizon the sun sets to blend into night
Safety in numbers no longer applies
When the enemy does the damage from inside of
The host
Doesn't matter how fast one can ryde into night
Into night
As rare as a comet that burns through the sky
A strong constitution that fight to survive in
A land where the medicine in short supply these days
These days
A desperate resort from an old friend
Tempting the fates
Too late
A formality, to look into
But by the grace of a new dawn breaking in haste
From starlight
We might
Revive a Ryder spent
Postpone him heaven-sent
In hindsight
We are unprepared yet stand to make amends
We all raise a glass in a toast to a friend
Yet some are among us who refuse to bend to
The pre-ordained writings selected to end
In the night
In the night
