Some things just happen, in ways it would seem. Out of control and without any means. Months we have traveled and my story's been told. I've walked through the fire and I've trekked through the cold.
So where is the rider with the hell hound at his back, the one that some youths call headless Jack. You can't outrun him no matter how far you go. His ways and his means I don't pretend to know. So where is the rider he's all dressed in black. He comes in the night when there ain't no comin' back. So lay down your weapons and ride back home. Love is what we've lost nowhere's where we've gone. Now where've we gone?
We're lost in the forest and buried beneath the sand. Your future is discovered and your fate is at hand. Into the darkness the world we have made, to see through the night and the light of the day.

You say you believe in the heavens above but believin' won't save you. It'll never be enough. It's who takes the bullet and who breaks the chains. Your god is just, but in hell we remain.
