[Intro (chant-like, eerie)]
Ride… ride… ride…
Boy this ain’t your daddy’s sky…
[Verse 1]
Boots on bones, and the moon’s the judge
Dust and death and a ghostly grudge
Eight seconds don’t mean much in hell
But he’s holdin’ on just as well
[Pre-Chorus]
Crowd full of shadows, bettin’ lives
Every cheer another soul arrives
[Chorus]
It’s a graveyard rodeo
Demons yell, “Let’s go!” [choir yells Lets Go]
Ride or die — they don’t care which
Heaven never liked that son of a bitch
In a graveyard rodeo
Where the wild ones go
[Verse 2]
Bull snorts sparks from a furnace breath
Rider’s dancin’ on the edge of death
Spurs carve names in the tombstone sand
Outlaws never die, they just take command
[Pre-Chorus]
Halo cracked, but the boots still shine
This cowboy crossed the finish line
[Chorus]
It’s a graveyard rodeo
Devil’s runnin’ the show
Every buck’s a reckoning
Saddle’s stitched from a fallen wing
At the graveyard rodeo
Only sinners glow
[Bridge (slow, haunting)]
Angels cried when he slipped that rope
But hell saw fire and called it hope
He ain’t scared of fire or fate
Death’s just another gate
[Breakdown (drums + gang vocals)]
Hold tight — ride the lightning
Skull dust — moon igniting
Stand tall — even fallin’
Dead still — cowboy callin’
[Chorus — Final (bigger + key lift)]
It’s a graveyard rodeo
And he’s the star of the show
Ride or rise — he’s chosen rise
With fire burnin’ in his eyes
In that graveyard rodeo
He’ll steal the devil’s throne
[Outro]
If heaven comes to claim him
They better bring a bigger rope
