[Intro]
Blazing across the starry night
A shadow moves, out of sight
Chasing whispers on the void’s edge
A bounty’s story, fierce and pledge
[Verse 1]
Metal gleams under distant suns
A lone rider, no place to run
Boots hit dust on a frozen trail
Every old sin still leaves a trail
Wanted words on a torn-up page
He keeps his fire in a rusted cage
Maps in his coat, and blood on his name
He rides that line between loss and fame
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that engine in the black
Once he’s gone, there ain’t no track
Every lie he left behind
Now it’s hunting him through time
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, black horse
Run from the debt you earned
Run, run, run, black horse
The void always takes its turn
Run, run, run, black horse
No prayer can slow the tide
Run, run, run, black horse
There’s nowhere left to hide
[Verse 2]
A scarlet moon cuts the canyon wide
He sees her face in the windshield light
Lost at port where the gamblers smiled
He sold his soul for a single mile
Now the law comes hard on a steel-gray wave
And every mile feels like an open grave
He'd call her name if the stars would break
But pride stays sharp, and pride won’t shake
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear that engine in the black
Once he’s gone, there ain’t no track
Every lie he left behind
Now it’s hunting him through time
[Chorus]
Run, run, run, black horse
Run from the debt you earned
Run, run, run, black horse
The void always takes its turn
Run, run, run, black horse
No prayer can slow the tide
Run, run, run, black horse
There’s nowhere left to hide
[Bridge]
He stops at last by the crater’s rim
Looks up slow as the light grows dim
Not for glory, not for gold
Just one more chance to make it whole
Then the sky cuts open wide
And the past comes back in the firelight
[Final Chorus]
Run, run, run, black horse
Run from the debt you earned
Run, run, run, black horse
The void always takes its turn
Run, run, run, black horse
No prayer can slow the tide
Run, run, run, black horse
There’s nowhere left to hide
