[Intro – distant thunder, creaking porch floor, dry harmonica hum] The well went dry last Tuesday No crow flew at dawn [Verse 1 – fingerpicked acoustic guitar, low walking bass] I shook his hand at the crossroads dust He wore a preacher coat all faded rust Said you earned what's coming don't you cry I ain't here to bargain I'm here to fly [Verse 2 – rattling chain percussion, harmonica wail under vocals] First the stars went out one by one The rivers turned to blood before the sun Every church bell cracked right down the spine No prayer could hold back what was mine [Chorus – stomp rhythm, raw layered vocals, dirty harmonica hook] He broke the seals he kicked the gate down Hell ain't below it's all around Every demon loose on the dirt God ain't coming you get what you deserve [Interlude – screaming harmonica solo, distant wolf howl] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3 – slower guitar, hollow dead tone] Sheriff hung his badge on the oak tree Preacher drank his bible clean Mothers don't hush their babies now Everybody knows there ain't no way out [Chorus – heavier stomp, gravel vocals, distorted guitar edge] He spit the flame he tore the sky wide No more mercy no more hide Every shadow breathes and every shadow burns This is what the whole world earned [Bridge – quiet, only guitar, almost whispered] I watched him smile when the last light died Said you all called me you just lied You didn't want salvation you wanted the show So now you get to watch the whole thing blow [Chorus – full force, all instruments, raw screaming vocals] He broke the seals he kicked the gate down Hell ain't below it's all around Every demon loose on the dirt God ain't coming you get what you deserve [Outro – fading guitar, distant fire crackle] The crossroads still at midnight He ain't going home tonight
