War For The Wicked

[Intro]
They came with greed in their hollowed eyes,
Spurs clinking sharp as the sun split the skies.
A deal’s a duel, a price is a dare—
This ain’t commerce, it’s a frontier snare.

[Verse 1]
The dry wind howled like a rabid hound,
Bootsteps pounded the dirt-packed ground.
A mother lunged for a cast-iron pan,
While a drifter drew steel—“Stay back if you can!”

The baker’s boy swung with a rolling pin,
As the town clerk’s spectacles shattered within.
A crate of boots sparked a vicious brawl,
With fists that broke and bodies that sprawled.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every handshake turned to a trigger’s draw,
Every glance became a gaping maw.
No names were spoken, no debts were paid—
Only chaos lived in that Black Friday raid.

[Chorus]
Hold tight to your hat, don’t stand in the way,
The devil’s dealing discounts today.
No rules, no honor, no side to choose—
It’s a war for the wicked, and we all lose.

[Verse 2]
The sheriff’s badge sat cold in the dirt,
He sold it cheap for a leather shirt.
A preacher bartered his rosary beads,
For whiskey to drown his unsaved deeds.

A woman tore lace from another’s dress,
As a blacksmith’s hammer caused heads to compress.
A child screamed sharp, clutching a doll,
As the mob stampeded toward the haul.

[Bridge]
(Spoken, under a low, haunting melody)
The store doors swung like saloon gates wide,
And in rushed the greedy, with nowhere to hide.
They left their pride on the cracked wooden floor,
For a trinket, a trifle—they craved even more.

[Chorus]
Hold tight to your hat, don’t stand in the way,
The devil’s dealing discounts today.
No rules, no honor, no side to choose—
It’s a war for the wicked, and we all lose.

[Breakdown]
Who claimed the hatchet? Who grabbed the rope?
Who walked away with the faintest hope?
Not the shopkeep, not the mayor’s kin—
They fought, they fell, nobody could win.

[Outro]
By dusk, the wind carried whispers of shame,
The bloodied town a hollowed-out frame.
Black Friday comes but leaves a stain,
A story carved deep in the desert plain.

So heed this warning, let greed take its toll,
You’ll sell your silver, your heart, and your soul.
