[Intro] [Heavy Intro] [Verse 1] Midnight crawled with a coffin mouth Black smoke rolling from the south One empty chair and a candle flame Then Death walked in and called my name He wore a grin made out of bone Dragged his shadow across the stone His boots hit hard on the chapel floor Like judgment knocking at my door He said, boy, your luck is running thin I smelled the graveyard on his skin He laid that iron between us slow Six cold chambers and one dark hole [Pre-Chorus] Cold hand Steel stare Dead man’s wager in the air No fear No prayer I was already halfway there [Chorus] Six rounds with death One breath from the fire Dancing with the reaper on a wire Six rounds with death But I don’t fall down I stole his crown from the underground He came for blood He came for bone But I walked out alive alone Six rounds with death And I beat him clean Now the graveyard bows to me [Post-Chorus] Bow to me Bow to me The graveyard bows to me [Verse 2] He laughed like thunder in a hollow room Said every man meets the same old doom I said, not tonight, not this time Your cold black kingdom ain’t claiming mine The walls were sweating, the floorboards cracked His dead eyes burned, but I burned back The candle bent like it wanted to run But I held my ground beneath the gun He spun the cylinder with a saintless grin Like he already knew how the night would end But fate leaned close with a crooked smile And whispered, make him wait awhile [Pre-Chorus] Cold hand Steel stare Dead man’s wager in the air No fear No prayer I was already halfway there [Chorus] Six rounds with death One breath from the fire Dancing with the reaper on a wire Six rounds with death But I don’t fall down I stole his crown from the underground He came for blood He came for bone But I walked out alive alone Six rounds with death And I beat him clean Now the graveyard bows to me [Breakdown 1] Grim black dealer Bone-white liar You brought the smoke I brought the fire Grim black dealer Graveyard king You lost your grip You lost your sting [Verse 3] First pull clicked like a church bell crack Death leaned forward, then I smiled back Second pull, and the rafters shook He scratched my name from his little black book Third one sang with an empty bite Fourth one died in the candlelight Fifth one froze in his rotting hand And the whole damn room forgot to stand He said, no man wins what all men owe I said, looks like you’re moving slow Then I took the iron and I spun it clean One last dance with the graveyard [Rhythm] [Bridge] Now he rides with his head hung low Back through the ash where dead winds blow I carved my name in his book of dust With a rusted nail and a laugh of rust The moon turned red The chapel screamed The dead woke up From a borrowed dream I don’t fear the hole I don’t fear the flame Death knows my face And fears my name [Breakdown 2] Six rounds No grave Six rounds No chain Six rounds One name Six rounds I remain [Final Chorus] Six rounds with death One breath from the fire Dancing with the reaper on a wire Six rounds with death But I don’t fall down I stole his crown from the underground He came for blood He came for bone But I walked out alive alone Six rounds with death And I beat him clean Now the graveyard bows to me [Extended Final Chorus] Six rounds with death And the night screamed louder I drank the storm And I stole its power Six rounds with death But the grave went dry The reaper lost And I won’t die He came for blood He came for bone But I walked out alive alone Six rounds with death And I beat him clean Now the graveyard bows to me [Outro] I beat death I beat death Six rounds down And I beat death Bow to me Bow to me The graveyard bows to me
