Dust rose heavy on the midnight plains,
Boot prints burning where the fire still reigns.
Whiskey bottle rattled in a trembling hand,
He ain’t just a man, he’s a curse on the land.
Verse 2
Moon hangs low, painted red like sin,
Voices of the dead whisper where he’s been.
Demons on the trail, riding fast behind,
But the worst of ‘em all lives inside his mind.
Chorus
He’s a cowboy in the ashes, riding through the flame,
Half a man of sorrow, half a beast untamed.
Chained to the darkness, but he won’t kneel down,
He’s the outlaw of the midnight, the devil’s lost hound.
Verse 3
Six-shooter gleams with a blackened flame,
Every soul he’s taken cries out his name.
He prays to a God he can’t seem to find,
While the devil grins wide, trailing close behind.
Verse 4
Campfire crackles with a sulfur glow,
Shadows dance wild, like they already know.
He strikes a deal with silence, won’t beg or plead,
He’s half man, half monster, but he still won’t bleed.
Chorus
He’s a cowboy in the ashes, riding through the flame,
Half a man of sorrow, half a beast untamed.
Chained to the darkness, but he won’t kneel down,
He’s the outlaw of the midnight, the devil’s lost hound.
Verse 5
Rattlesnakes hiss, wolves howl from the ridge,
The sky breaks open like a burning bridge.
He rides through the storm with his hat pulled low,
Where the river of fire and the cold wind blow.
Verse 6
One last stand at the canyon’s edge,
Boots dig deep on the jagged ledge.
Demons circle ‘round, eyes glowing bright,
But he won’t go down without a fight.
Verse 7
Gunfire cracks like thunder through the dark,
Every shot he fires leaves a branded mark.
Smoke clears slow, just silence remains,
A lone cowboy stands where there once were chains.
Chorus (Final)
He’s a cowboy in the ashes, riding through the flame,
Half a man of sorrow, half a beast untamed.
Chained to the darkness, but he won’t kneel down,
He’s the outlaw of the midnight, the devil’s lost hound.
Ending (Finale)
Now the desert tells stories when the night wind moans,
Of a rider in black, with fire in his bones.
Some say he fell, some swear he survived,
But the cowboy and his demons still ride side by side.
