[Verse 1] Dust on the bible Mud on my boots I came in quiet With a pocket full of truth You saw the mark there Carved in the bone A bad luck shadow Following me home [Pre-Chorus] So keep your mouth shut Keep your hands clean That old road knows me And it knows what I mean [Chorus] If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) I ride through the black I cut through the light One bad word spoken And I end your night [Verse 2] There's a cold old howl In the canyon air You hear my spurs now You won't see me there I don't need a doorway I don't need a key I just take the fear That was waiting for me [Pre-Chorus] So keep your mouth shut Keep your hands clean That old road knows me And it knows what I mean [Chorus] If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) I ride through the black I cut through the light One bad word spoken And I end your night [Bridge] [Half-time break] The sky went low The earth went red I heard your prayers Like stones in my head You spit my name Now the air went thin I was born in the dark And I live from within [Final Chorus] If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) If you call my name on a broken tongue (My name is Death) I ride through the black I cut through the light One bad word spoken And I end your night (My name is Death)
