🎵 HELLBOUND — NO GRAVE CAN HOLD ME Dark Country Metal · Southern Gothic · Heavy Outlaw Rock · 115 BPM [Intro — Thunderstorm, Galloping Hooves, Distorted Slide Guitar] Six feet down... Cold as stone... You should've left These bones alone. [Verse 1 — Deep, Gritty Male Vocals] They put me in the ground on a cold black night, Six dirty cowboys under pale moonlight. My brother took my silver, my woman took my ring, They carved my name in a cross and forgot everything. I heard the dirt fall down like a shotgun blast, Swore to every demon I'd be coming back. Then a voice from the darkness whispered in my ear, "Boy, you've got unfinished business up here." [Pre-Chorus — Heavy Drums Building] Now the earth starts shaking, Hear the dead men call! I've been down in hell, But I ain't dead at all! [Chorus — Explosive Country Metal Riffs] HELLBOUND! I'M BACK FROM THE GRAVE! Ain't no chains gonna make me behave! Six feet under, but I'm standing tall, You can bury my body, but you can't break my soul! HELLBOUND! LET THE THUNDER ROLL! Black hat, black heart, and a fire down below! You sold me out, now you're gonna pay, NO GRAVE CAN HOLD ME — I'M HERE TO STAY! [Verse 2 — Aggressive Vocals, Galloping Rhythm] I rode through the desert on a dead man's steed, With a rusted old revolver and a heart full of greed. The church bells cracked when I came to town, Every sinner turned white when I rode around. My brother was drinking in the old saloon, Said he'd seen my ghost beneath the blood-red moon. I kicked down the door, let the six-guns sing, Said, "You took my life, now I'll take everything!" [Pre-Chorus — Rising Guitar Tension] There's a storm on the horizon, There's a price to pay! You can't outrun the devil When he's riding your way! [Chorus — Full Band, Double-Kick Drums] HELLBOUND! I'M BACK FROM THE GRAVE! Ain't no chains gonna make me behave! Six feet under, but I'm standing tall, You can bury my body, but you can't break my soul! HELLBOUND! LET THE THUNDER ROLL! Black hat, black heart, and a fire down below! You sold me out, now you're gonna pay, NO GRAVE CAN HOLD ME — I'M HERE TO STAY! [Bridge — Half-Time Groove, Dark Spoken Vocals] The preacher said, "Son, you belong in hell." I laughed in his face and rang his bell. The Devil came riding through the burning rain, Said, "You died once, boy — don't make me ask again." I said, "I've got no fear, I've got nothing to lose. You gave me these boots, now I'm walking in your shoes. Take my last breath, take my last prayer, But I'll never bow down — not here, not anywhere!" [Instrumental Break — Crushing Guitar Riffs, Twangy Slide Guitar Solo, Galloping Drums] [Breakdown — Gang Vocals, Stomping Rhythm] DIG THAT HOLE! NAIL THAT LID! I'M THE WORST DAMN NIGHTMARE YOU EVER BURIED! DIG THAT HOLE! SAY YOUR PRAYERS! I'M THE GHOST IN THE DARK AND I'M EVERYWHERE! [Final Chorus — Maximum Power, Screamed Backing Vocals] HELLBOUND! I'M BACK FROM THE GRAVE! AIN'T NO HELLFIRE GONNA MAKE ME BEHAVE! Six feet under, now I'm standing tall, You can bury my body, but you can't break my soul! HELLBOUND! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! I WALKED THROUGH HELL AND I STOLE THE SHOW! You sold me out, now you're gonna pay, NO GRAVE CAN HOLD ME — I'M HERE TO STAY! [Outro — Distorted Guitar, Thunder, Slow Galloping Hooves] Six feet down... No rest for the damned... You should've killed me better. Now I'm your last man standing. [Final Guitar Chord — Feedback Fades Into Thunder]
