[Intro] The gate swings wide when the sun goes red Ash on the road, old names for the dead Keep your hands where the cold can see Dusk till dawn, you belong to me [Verse 1] I came through the pass with a storm in my coat Black iron moon and a chain at my throat You hear that boot on the chapel stair? That’s the old king coming to collect his share [Female Whisper] Don’t turn around Don’t call my name The candle bends But burns the same [Pre-Chorus] Raise every shutter, bar every door The ground knows the step of the ones before I count to three; let the silence break One for the vow, two for the wake— [Chorus] Dusk till dawn, hold the line Dusk till dawn, this night is mine Call the lost ones, call them home No one crosses here alone Dusk till dawn, hear that sound Dusk till dawn, shake the ground When the first red morning is drawn We’ll still be standing—dusk till dawn [Verse 2] The radio coughs from a room gone cold A voice in the wire says, “Do what you’re told” But I know the tune of a crooked command I break that signal with a bare right hand [Female Whisper] Under the floor The roots run deep They know the names We could not keep [Pre-Chorus] Raise every shutter, bar every door The ground knows the step of the ones before I count to three; let the silence break One for the vow, two for the wake— [Chorus] Dusk till dawn, hold the line Dusk till dawn, this night is mine Call the lost ones, call them home No one crosses here alone Dusk till dawn, hear that sound Dusk till dawn, shake the ground When the first red morning is drawn We’ll still be standing—dusk till dawn [Bridge] [Male Growl] Name your price! Name your dead! [Female Vocal] I keep the flame beside my bed [Male Vocal] No crown can make the frightened kneel No ghost can take what we have sealed [Breakdown] Step by step, stone by stone We are many; none alone Step by step, dawn will come Keep the gate till the night is done [Final Chorus] Dusk till dawn, hold the line Dusk till dawn, this night is mine Call the lost ones, call them home No one crosses here alone Dusk till dawn, hear that sound Dusk till dawn, shake the ground When the first red morning is drawn We’ll still be standing—dusk till dawn [Outro] Dusk till dawn… Keep the gate… Dusk till dawn… The night gives way
