[Verse 1]
Dust rolls slow across the plain
Sun like fire, sky like flame
Whispers carried by the wind
Tell the world where I have been
On the pale frontier, it’s a desert out here
Every shadow hides its fear
Lawless land beneath my reign
Soon they’ll all belong in chain
Property is everything and I will own you
That’s the truth that cuts right through
Every town and every door
Soon they’ll know what I’m here for
Bootsteps echo in the sand
Lightning riding on my hand
Every outlaw, every crown
Soon will kneel or be struck down
[Chorus]
I love it when they run,
Ooooooh, isn’t this fun!
You can’t escape my chain
Welcome to your new world of pain
You will be my slave
Better learn to behave
Hear the thunder of my reign
Riding through the dust again
[Verse 2]
Every street I pass grows still
They can sense my iron will
Every whisper spreads my name
Like a slow consuming flame
Everyone I see will be mine, in time
Like the tolling of a chime
Every rival fades away
When I choose the hour and day
Desert winds begin to cry
Storm clouds boiling in the sky
Every gun and every blade
Soon will bow to what I’ve made
Don’t doubt my power
I will be no 1 in the hour
When the storm begins to roar
They’ll remember what I’m for
[Chorus]
I love it when they run,
Ooooooh, isn’t this fun!
You can’t escape my chain
Welcome to your new world of pain
You will be my slave
Better learn to behave
Hear the thunder of my reign
Riding through the dust again
[Bridge]
Bass drops heavy through the night
Lightning splits the desert sky
Hear the thunder start to rise
Watch the fear within their eyes
Dust storms spinning, hearts collide
There is nowhere left to hide
When the queen begins to ride
Every outlaw steps aside
[Verse 3]
Now the towns are burning bright
Under crimson desert light
Every banner torn and thrown
Every road now leads to throne
On the pale frontier the truth is clear
Every soul will bend in fear
From the canyon to the plain
All will fall beneath my reign
Everyone I see will be mine, in time
Hear the distant warning chime
When the thunder shakes the sand
They will know who rules this land
[Chorus]
I love it when they run,
Ooooooh, isn’t this fun!
You can’t escape my chain
Welcome to your new world of pain
You will be my slave
Better learn to behave
Hear the thunder of my reign
Riding through the dust again
