Lived wrong—it’s why I wrote this song. This outlaw isn’t bound by glory, Because you don’t know my story. But they’ll judge me when I’m dead and gone. Verse Riding this barren trail to hell, Wearing dust, blood and grit—tooth and nail. The graveyard sings my name, Because I’ve skin in this game. Pre-Chorus These crossroads cast my sins, Making me think twice in the end. Strike the match—pour gasoline. Let the fire confess what I’ve seen. Chorus I was born in fire, forged in pain, With a heart like thunder and a bloodstained name. You’ll hear my steps before the dawn — I’m the ghost they fear when the light is gone. Verse 2 Desire, fire, and a cold soul of ice, I am the dark, I am the light. Fury rising—I don’t ask why, I was made to burn, not just survive… ohhh… Pre-Chorus These crossroads cast my sins, Making me think twice in the end. Strike the match—pour gasoline. Let the fire confess what I’ve seen. Chorus I was born in fire, forged in pain, With a heart like thunder and a bloodstained name. You’ll hear my steps before the dawn — I’m the ghost they fear when the light is gone. Bridge Each slow step I take burns me down, This ground cracks with a whipping sound. I rode the high hills and low plains, Now this town will burn in my name. Pre-Chorus I know I am cursed, damned—haunted by demons, I know I am cursed, damned, and carved by sin, But I’ll ride through the dark ’til the end drags me in, And in the end, the devil is my only friend. Final Chorus I was born in fire, forged in pain, With a heart like thunder and a bloodstained name. You’ll hear my steps before the dawn — I’m the ghost they fear when light fades. I rode through flames, I rode through lies — This song’s my war cry and my alibi. Outro These eyes are not windows to the soul. If you did the things I did you would know. I lived wrong—but I burned bright… A shadow rider in the dead of night. This is my eulogy, my long goodbye…
