[Intro] (Slow, eerie acoustic slide guitar picking) (A lonesome harmonica wails in the distance) Mmm... [Verse 1] The sun goes down on the Crimson Wastes Got a holy symbol and a bitter taste Riding a phantom horse with eyes of coal Sold my soul just to pay the toll My patron whispers in the desert breeze Telling me to bring the frontier to its knees. [Chorus] Oh, the warlock rides through the canyon shadows Past the hanging tree and the dusty gallows With a hex in the chamber and a heavy heart Watching this wicked world tear apart Yeah, the dark magic flows where the river dried Welcome, partner, to the warlock’s last ride. [Verse 2] Stopped at a tavern made of bleached white bone Drinking cursed whiskey all alone A bounty hunter threw his silver down Said, "There ain't no room for your kind in town" I just tipped my brim and I cast a blight And faded away into the dead of night. [Chorus] Oh, the warlock rides through the canyon shadows Past the hanging tree and the dusty gallows With a hex in the chamber and a heavy heart Watching this wicked world tear apart Yeah, the dark magic flows where the river dried Welcome, partner, to the warlock’s last ride. [Harmonica and Guitar Solo] (A weeping harmonica intertwines with a haunting slide guitar) (Slow, heavy heartbeat drum echoing in the background) [Bridge] No paladin’s light can save me now I made my pact and I broke my vow Just a lone spellcaster on a ruined trail Where the demons howl and the banshees wail. [Outro] Yeah, the last ride... (The harmonica slowly fades out like a dying breeze) [Whispered] See you in the abyss.
