BLACK HOLLOW [Intro: Howling wind, distant horse hooves, creaking saloon door, church bell, lone whistle] [Whispered] Turn around… Ride away… You don’t belong… Nobody leaves… [Verse 1] Dust climbs high beneath my boots, Sun hangs low like a rusted noose. Every window stares at me, But not a soul dares blink or breathe. Empty bottles line the bar, Bullet holes still wear their scars. A music box begins to play… Like it never lost its way. A cold wind speaks my name aloud, Ghostly faces fill the crowd. Then a silver badge catches light… A dead man steps into my sight. [Pre-Chorus] He tips his hat, The silence grows. One road in… No road home. [Chorus] [Screamed] DRAW!! DRAW!! DRAW YOUR FINAL BREATH!! [Layered Growls + Gang Vocals] Welcome to Black Hollow, Where the dead collect their debt! Raise your iron, Face the gallows! Every soul becomes the next! [Screamed] No escape… No tomorrow… [Death Growl] BLACK HOLLOW WANTS YOUR SOUL!! [Verse 2] His revolver drips with time, Every chamber forged in crime. Names are carved into the steel, Every victim still can feel. Saloon ghosts begin to grin, Watching wagers placed on sin. Children laugh without a face, Shadows dance without a trace. Every heartbeat shakes the ground, Chains beneath make hollow sounds. The bell rings out… The clock strikes death… [Whispered] “Take your breath…” [Pre-Chorus] One step closer… Steel to steel… Pray your hands Forget to feel. [Chorus] [Screamed] DRAW!! DRAW!! DRAW YOUR FINAL BREATH!! [Layered Growls + Gang Vocals] Welcome to Black Hollow, Where the dead collect their debt! Raise your iron, Face the gallows! Every soul becomes the next! [Screamed] No escape… No tomorrow… [Death Growl] BLACK HOLLOW WANTS YOUR SOUL!! [Bridge: Orchestral strings swell, industrial ambience, distant choir] [Whispered Voices] Miss… Miss… You’ll miss… Join us… Stay… Forever… [Low Death Growl] Every outlaw… Every drifter… Every sinner… Still walks these streets… [Breakdown] [SFX: Boots on wood, spurs jingling, heartbeat] [Revolver Hammer Click] Click… [Whispered] Draw… [Revolver Hammer Click] Click… [Whispered] Draw… [Revolver Hammer Click] Click… [Collective Scream] DRAW!! [Full Band Erupts] [Death Growls] BLOOD ON THE DUST! BONES IN THE SUN! RUN IF YOU CAN! THE HUNT HAS BEGUN!! BLOOD ON THE DUST! HELL HAS NO DAWN! YOU NEVER LEFT… BLACK HOLLOW!! [Final Chorus] [Screamed] DRAW!! DRAW!! DRAW YOUR FINAL BREATH!! [Layered Choir + Gang Vocals] Every road was always leading To the kingdom of the dead! Raise your iron, Meet your maker! Let the reaper paint the red! [Screamed] Ghosts are singing… Bells are ringing… [Massive Death Growl] BLACK HOLLOW OWNS YOUR SOUL!! [Outro: Wind returns, distant horse gallops away] [SFX: Single gunshot] BANG. [Silence] [Soft Whisper] “…Looks like the sheriff’s got a new deputy…”
