Release Of The Renegade


Recommended Posts

And now WDED presents a sad, yet curiously satisfying tale of a how long-haired, motorcycle-riding hippy freak meets his end on a lonely highway...

Happy Halloween Season, from all of us here at WDED! Remember - the commercial-free pumpkins are the reason for the season!

Release of the Renegade

Renegade on the two-lane road, his hair loose in the wind

Had left the small town late last night, right after he had sinned

The moon above so full and blue, his leathers soft and warm

He headed out of Hell that day into the welcome storm

The storm he rode to had no rain, nor wind nor driving sleet

It was a storm he’d weather soon, and in the end defeat

For while the skies above him now were clear and full of stars

He knew that soon that harvest moon would shine upon fresh scars

He’d had his fill of pleasures ill, of drunken gropes and bar fights

He’d seen the country on two wheels, by sunshine and neon lights

For while he’d known many a girl and fought many a man

He’d also known his time had flown, solely through his own hand

So as he roared on down the lanes his mind was free and clear

He’d known the pain of loneliness, the ecstasy of fear

He’d shared embraces on the beach, got stoned and fought his fight

He knew that what he witnessed now would be his last full night

So living in the moment, as his kind is wont to do,

He searched for his immortal soul, a path that would prove true

But emptiness confronted him at each and every turn

That’s when he knew his life was run, his soul would ever burn

Whatever he did now would prove to be his final act

He’d gone beyond hypothesis; he dealt now just in fact

He saw no future down that strip of coiling quick-patched tar

And as he looked within himself, he missed that wayward car

Somewhere out in the desert where coyotes howl and play

There drifts a soul so marred and old, but happy, in its way

Release was won that fateful night through grace of Heaven’s hand

His spirit soared above the moon while flesh lay in the sand
