[Intro] Midnight wind on a dirt-road line One boot in heaven, one in the fire Black clouds rolling, no place to hide Only my shadow walking beside [Verse 1] Found that crossroads under a blood-red moon Promises whispered like an out-of-tune tune The devil smiled with a poker face grin Said, "Bet your soul if you want to win." Ace of spades and eights laid down Dead man's hand in a ghost-town round Broken hearts paved every mile Still I answered with a crooked smile [Pre-Chorus] Every scar remembers my name Every regret still fans the flame But I hear a voice beneath the noise Telling me I still have a choice [Chorus] I'm holding a dead man's hand But I still stand where I stand The devil keeps calling my name tonight Trying to drag me into the endless night Broken hearts don't make me fall I've bled enough, I've seen it all The war ain't out there, now I know It's the evil living inside my soul [Verse 2] Every mirror shows another face Every mistake I can't erase Chains of anger, chains of pride Dragging like wolves at my side The bottle lied, the darkness laughed Every promise split in half But the fire inside still burns alive Refusing to lay down and die [Pre-Chorus] When temptation calls my name I won't surrender to the flame I raise my fists against the night One more round, one more fight [Chorus] I'm holding a dead man's hand But I still stand where I stand The devil keeps calling my name tonight Trying to drag me into the endless night Broken hearts don't make me fall I've bled enough, I've seen it all The war ain't out there, now I know It's the evil living inside my soul [Bridge] No deal... no bargain... no blood to sign This soul was never yours to define I'll wear these scars like battle paint A sinner fighting to become a saint When dawn breaks through the blackest sky The strongest hearts are the ones that survive [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] I'm throwing down that dead man's hand I'm stronger than I thought I am The devil fades with the morning light He can't own what still chooses to fight Broken hearts made steel from stone The darkest road led me back home I'll face the evil every day But it won't steal my soul away [Outro] Crossroads fading behind my back... The devil's voice... just another track... I walk alone... but I walk free... The hardest battle... was inside of me.
