Badlands
there’s a fire in the sky on devil’s night
hundreds I can see upon their restless steeds
they’re gonna ride to the border of Mexico
it’s do or die, their torches held up high
chorus:
it’s the badlands
where dead men tell no tales
and the wind it tolls no bells
where heaven meets hell
and the night it screams and wails
hear the sound of the coyotes’ moan
in this god forsaken desert home
where blackened shadows hide the bones
of all the lost and wayward souls
they’re gonna ride hard upon the sands
take their chance in this no man’s land

Bullets Don't Argue

Bullets Don’t Argue
a crow flies the western sky
the twitching of a nervous eye
the clicking of a chambered round
another body hits the ground
rider on a desert plain
a killer on a southbound train
blood stain on the setting sun
another hero bites the dust
a coffin full of dollars
don’t a rich man make
when you’re lying dead and lifeless
make no mistake
when it’s all said and done
who has lost or won?
chorus:
take me dead or alive
your life ain’t worth the price
take me dead or alive
bullets don’t argue
you’ll lay down your life
a lonely howl in the night
a shadow in the firelight
the echo of a deadman’s tune
a card that spells certain doom
a shot of whiskey in a jar
vendettas that have gone too far
another dollar to be made
another bounty to be paid
a coffin full of dollars
don’t a rich man make
when you’re lying dead and lifeless
make no mistake
when it’s all said and done
who has lost or won?

Heads You Die, Tails I Kill You
when your life spins on the floor
hail the gift from the master of the wicked world
if you walk in a no-man’s land
don’t take a chance on a losing bet, yeah
the hands of fate are tied and bound
your fortune fades with a laughing sound
toss the coin in the air
ahh ahh
chorus:
heads you die
tails I kill you
if you live your life on the edge
there’s no remorse and no regrets, yeah
there’s always two sides of a coin to choose
ain’t no way to win when you’re born to lose, yeah
time to shake the hand of doom
your time is up like the waning moon
the coin it spins in the air
ahh ahh
flip the coin

Leave You in the Dust

Leave You in the Dust
see the wheels
they roll like the heads
of yesterday’s promises blown in the wind
here I am
adrift and alone
a casualty of silent ways and words never spoke
chorus:
the world is hard and the winds are cruel
you think you’ve won when you played the fool
full speed ahead, my life won’t rust
I’ll hit the road
and leave you in the dust
feel the wheels
they burn like the sun
on sands of the past where you chose to run
there you go
body and soul
distant in anguish, buried in gold
chorus:
the world is hard and the winds are cruel
you say you’re done and I am the fool
full speed ahead, my life ain’t bust
I’ll hit the road
and leave you in the dust
break
chorus:
the world is hard and the winds are cruel
you think you’ve won when you played the fool
full speed ahead, my life won’t rust
I’ll hit the road and leave you in the dust
hit the road and leave you in the dust
hit the road and leave you in the dust

Trail of the Snake

Trail of the Snake
snakes they crawl into our lives
among us all they slither and writhe
making their way through the ages of time
they crawl from holes in the ground
where the sun could never be found
their venom it flows from an endless well
chorus:
if you swing from the gallows
if you hang by the road [what price will you pay?]
you ain’t a saint or a sinner
just a man without soul [soul]
if you trade a dollar
for a handful of hate [what is it worth to you?]
just carry on
down the trail of the snake
they come in the form of a friend
turn your back and they will descend
draining your life to the very end
they prey on smiles of a child
have their way with the lost and the wild
don’t look in their eyes they’re black pools of evil
their wicked fangs aim to betray
stay away from the trail of the snake
they’ll leave you cold, all alone
don’t let them crawl into your home

The Worm

The Worm
belly up to the bar and give me shot of your best stuff
cause this dust in my throat is turning to brick
make it some of that mexican mojo
you’ve got hidden there down below
I can hear him callin, I can hear him beg
drink me like the water from this desert land
I don’t need no chaser, I don’t need no lime
just tip the glass and let that motherfucker fly
glass in one hand, flesh in the other
queen of the night on the day of the dead
let’s raise the bottle and wager a boast
who gets to have this heavenly host
chorus:
worm (x3)
as I look out across the bar’s hollow gut
rafters climb the walls like rib bones
sultry dancers move like cobras
to the sound of a skeleton band
I can hear him whisper, I can hear him call
every poker player in this dirty hall
he’s the garden viper, he’s the mongrel’s teeth
hair of the dog baby is all you need
cards in one hand, glass in the other
drink up tomorrow we might be dead
god’s little children are howlin like ghosts
come to wet their grave-thirsty throats
remember the worm, the promise he keeps
bullfighters die and women weep
break out the bottle and I’ll show you what I mean
sell your soul for smoke and a drink
place your little lips around the neck
swallow the worm baby I’m your man

Night of No Tomorrows

Night of No Tomorrows
I remember the day when waves of blackness
filled my sorrowed head
I was a hit by a cloud in a clear blue sky
striking overhead
no thunder, no warning, one minute to the next everything had changed
the rain poured down like a wall of tears
flooding in my veins
she came to me not long ago, autumn in her eyes
I remember the night so clearly now, I was mesmerized
her black dress flowed like a mourning veil
as she walked out of a dream
and in her face an angel’s grace
like nothin I’d ever seen
chorus:
now she’s gone
whoa whoa whoa she’s gone
night of no tomorrows
on city streets and delta roads
we traveled far and wide
where she fell into my arms
and laid down by my side
we listened to the morning birds
whose cries were nevermore
and laughed into the deepest night
upon the misty moors
I stand in the dark on a night of no tomorrows
lost in the fog on the shores of hollow sorrows
search for the light in the black of empty spaces
I yearn with a fear in my heart
now a rock of heavy sadness weighs inside of me
so that when they bury me beneath that river tree
my blood and bones will turn to dust
and slowly wash away
and all that’s left there is that stone
of sorrowful remains
chorus:
now she’s gone
whoa whoa whoa she’s gone
night of no tomorrows

Cursed

Cursed
on a night just like tonight
when the moon is full and bright
that’s when we come ridin to your town
we cross the bridge undead
like horsemen without heads
dealin out a deadly dose of sound
echoes of doom
rise from the tomb
chorus:
we’re cursed we’re cursed
to play by the devil’s hand
guitars under his spell
we’re cursed we’re cursed
six-string vendetta
listen to our music wail
we walk upon your streets
like poison from a sting
scorpions from the mouth of hell
at the point of no return
where bodies start to burn
our witchery consumes you with its spell
phantom guitars
sound the alarm
it was long ago
we met him on the road
we made a deal and in our blood we signed
now you hear the screams
from our haunted strings
our blackened souls forever in this bind
phantom guitars
sound the alarm
there’s only debt to pay
in darkness we must play
or by morning take his prize
Satan’s eyes never lie
leave our souls to die

Running from the Sun

Running From the Sun
she came without a kiss
blood stains upon her wrists so cold
she said take me home
her dress fell to the floor
come close my virgin whore
take it slow, the darkness grows
I am the nameless
eternal pain prince
I am the day’s forgotten one
chorus:
running from the sun (x3)
morning flame it burns in her
a price for love at every turn
she said, I think I’m dead
now I take my dying bride
on eternal nightwing ride she flies
away from life
I am the darkest
lover’s secret
I am the snake’s scarlet tongue
I am your prince of pain
I will be your everything
turn you inside out
steal the words from in your mouth
in darkness we are one, hidden from the sun
where we listen to them wail
as I take you away from your yellow hell
running from the sun

Eldorado
03:50
|

Eldorado
a mystic vision haunts my soul
it’s burned into my breast
a glimmer of a golden life
beyond this endless quest
I’ve searched for it so far and wide
across the shadowed land
and when I’d reached that hallowed ground
it disappeared again... like Eldorado
Eldorado
for all my life I’ve sought the things
that others dared to dream
I’ve conquered distant mountains
and I’ve followed hidden streams
I’ve never let them stop me
from seeking what I need
my strength and dedication
is not a fool-man’s greed
come and take it
it calls me in the night
come and take it
some things are worth the fight
chorus:
Eldorado
the promise of your gold
Eldorado
your mark upon my soul
I ride the roads in sleepless hours
late into the night
I crossed the thirsty deserts
when morning brings the light
to find the rumored riches
hidden in your depths
like splendid spires of golden tears
that heaven surely wept
come and take it
it calls me in the night
come and take it
some things are worth the fight, the sacrifice
come and take it
“you’re here,” the shade replied
yet when I looked again
it vanished from my sight, into darkest night
chorus:
Eldorado
the ecstasy of gold
Eldorado
your mark upon my soul
