Phantom Rider Lyrics

Hands of Time
You see'em pass you by
Witness the pain
That it leaves behind

Shadow grows darker
And weakens the soul
It takes you away when
The winds are blowin' cold

Whoa-ooooh whoa-ooooh whoa-oh
Phantom Rider (rider, rider)
Please don't take me away yeah
Away-ay-ay no

Time is everlasting
But nothing out lasts time
Whatever comes must go it seems
It's not ours to question why

Just lift your hands up to the sky
And taste the warmth of the sun
Keep livin' for the moment
But your time is gonna come

Chorus

Whoa-aaah hey yeah-ah yeah

You can feel it comin'
The older that you grow
And when your time has come at last
There's some things you'll never know


So always remember
To keep your guard held high
Cause you'll never know when
The Phantom will make his sinful ride

Chorus x2

Don't you take me away no-oo
Don't you take me away

There are / were at least 2 bands going by this name.

1) Blues-based, Led Zeppelin inspired metal that should have made Tora Tora a household name, but sadly didn't. One of the best-unknown bands in the hard rock genre, but lack of label support killed any chance the band had for massive success.
Formed in Memphis, Tennessee, by Anthony Corder (vocals), Keith Douglas (guitar), Patrick Francis (drums) and John Patterson (drums). They quickly beat out sixty other groups in a Battle of the Bands contest and received some free studio time. They cut one track in Memphis before using the prize money they had won to record an entire independent EP called To Rock, To Roll. The studio was so impressed with the recordings that they offered to help shop the demo and gave them even more free recording time. Tora Tora eventually singed with A&M and the debut album made the Billboard Top 100, and hovered on the brink of breaking wide open. Later that same year "Dancing With A Gypsy" would appear on the soundtrack for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. The follow-up, while being another classic, sold even less copies then the debut. A third album was recorded but never released due to label restructuring. Realizing that their due date had expired, the band folded.
Recent years have seen Corder and Francis perform live as either Tora Tora or Homemade Flavor. Rumors circulate that the unreleased third album may finally see the light of day, and one can only hope. A band that should regroup and release another killer album on the unsuspecting public.

2) Were an 80's Synthpop act from France. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
