Shadow on the wastelands And the sun is sinkin' low The hounds of hell are howling In their father's house below Swiftly as the crow flies Through the nights as black as coal They're closing' in behind me For the bounty on my soul
Shrieks of laughter As i chase the morning The devil's coming' But he's never gonna take me
Chorus: Well I ride til the Son rises Run like the devil Gonna ride to the other side Run like the devil
Somewhere in the distance A bell begins to toll As Lucifer is raisin' Hell As rooster starts to crow
Faith begins to leave me As a chill runs up my spine Black wraiths are upon me now And they're screaming. 'Now you're mine!'
The earth is mourning And the skies are storming The wraiths are swarming But they're never gonna take me
Chorus But in the darkest hour The time was close at hand When the Son of the morning Would rise and take the land Then at last, The brilliant, blazing, glory of the Son Rose to drive the night away Now the devil's on the run
