(Intro spoken with guitar) Lived wrong—it’s why I wrote this song. This outlaw isn’t bound by glory, Because you don’t know my story. But they’ll judge me when I’m dead and gone. (Verse) Riding this barren trail to hell, Wearing dust, blood and grit—tooth and nail. The graveyard sings my name, Because I’ve skin in this game. (Chorus) I was born in fire, forged in pain, With a heart like thunder and a bloodstained name. You’ll hear my steps before the dawn — I’m the ghost they fear when the light is gone. I ride for the truth they tried to hide... Now this town it lived and now will die. (Verse) Desire, fire, and a cold soul of ice, I am the dark, I am the light. Fury rising— I don’t ask why, I was made to burn, not just survive, ohhhh… (Pre-chorus) These crossroads cast my sins. Making me think twice in the end. Strike the match—pour gasoline. Let the fire confess what I’ve seen. (Chorus) The soulless walk in this town, Thieves that built this on wicked ground. Now all will be hell bound… Let the rain wash their sins away, Because today, they’ll pay in blood and flame! (Bridge) Each slow step I take burns me down, This ground cracks with a whipping sound. I rode the high hills and low plains, Now this town will burn in my name. (Pre-chorus) I know I am cursed, damned—haunted by demons, I know I am cursed, damned, and carved by sin, But I’ll ride through the dark 'til the end drags me in, And in the end, the devil is my only friend (Final chorus) I was born in fire, forged in pain, With a heart like thunder and a bloodstained name. You’ll hear my steps before the dawn — I’m the ghost they fear when light fades. I rode through flames, I rode through lies — This song’s my war cry and my alibi. (Outro) These eyes are not windows to the soul. If you did the things I did you would know. I lived wrong— but I burned bright… A shadow rider in the dead of night. This is my eulogy, my long goodbye…ohhh, ohh…
