The Ballad of Ivan Patrick

A lonely road, a desert town
Headed out as the sun went down
They carried on in a celebration
The open road, the destination
She wrapped her arms around his waist
They rumbled on through time and space
You never know what the angel's scheming
Like a blind date with a left flank demon

He never saw it coming in the night
It's so easy to sacrifice a life
He never made it home on a fateful ride
It's so easy to step into the light

Brought him home, laid him down
Buried him in the devil's town
And now I'm only seeing what I'm dreaming
Halloween has a whole new meaning

He never saw it coming in the night
It's so easy to sacrifice a life
I never got a chance to say goodbye
It's so easy to step into the light

I hope you're learning to fly
Somewhere up above the winds
They say true love will never die
Yeah, true love never dies

'Cause you'll never die
'Cause you'll never die
'Cause you'll never die

He never saw it coming in the night
It's so easy to sacrifice a life
He never made it home on a fateful ride
It's so easy to step into the light

Never got a chance to say goodbye
It's so easy to sacrifice a life
Another good man much too young to die
It's so easy to step into the light
It's oh so easy to step into the light
It's much too easy to step into the light
