Death Rides a Horse

[Intro] "Risin' up from the dust, from the cold, cold ground... Ain't no grave keepin' me down." [Verse 1] Out in the shadows where the vultures cry, I was laid to rest, but I won't die. Betrayed by my brothers, shot in the back, Now I'm ridin' the storm, dressed in black. I see the old gang gone wild and free, Spreadin' terror, bringin' misery. Used to live by a code, but they forgot, Now I’m takin' revenge, ready or not. [Chorus] Death rides a horse through the dead of night, Rattlin' chains, eyes burnin' bright. Revenge in my veins, fire in my soul, Death rides a horse, takin' control! [Verse 2] They thought they were free, thought they'd roam, Rippin' towns apart, burnin' homes. But I got no mercy for the innocent fallin', Only justice for those who started crawlin'. The gang may've turned to greed and sin, But I swore my soul won’t let them win. So I ride on the wind, ghost in the dust, For the souls they damned and broke with rust. [Chorus] Death rides a horse through the dead of night, Rattlin' chains, eyes burnin' bright. Revenge in my veins, fire in my soul, Death rides a horse, takin' control! [Bridge] "Justice ain't dead, it just lies in wait..." [Verse 3] One by one, they’ll pay the price, For broken laws and shattered lives. Innocence burned by their greedy hand, Now Death's back to reclaim his land. No salvation in the cards they've drawn, For those who turned their back and run. The dust, the night, the blood will stain, Till justice calls out each name in pain. [Chorus] Death rides a horse through the dead of night, Rattlin' chains, eyes burnin' bright. Revenge in my veins, fire in my soul, Death rides a horse, takin' control!
