7 Devils
The Goddamn Gallows
Old mr. Shadow, old mr. Rain
7 Devils callin’, whispering my name
Old mr. Shallow, old mr. Vain
Tryin’ to outrun you, on a graveyard train
He laughs as he leads you astray
In satan’s arms he told me that he stays
He has a blackened heart
As he wallows in the dark
And forever he’ll be searchin’ for the day
Old mr. Shadow, old mr. Rain
7 Devils callin’, whispering my name
Old mr. Shallow, old mr. Vain
Tryin’ to outrun you, on a graveyard train
Them blue skies are turning into grey
A boxcar full of souls is on its way
We’ll ride the rails til dawn
And your soul will now belong
To the devil, well I guess you should have prayed
Old mr. Shadow, old mr. Rain
7 Devils callin’, whispering my name
Old mr. Shallow, old mr. Vain
Tryin’ to outrun you, on a graveyard train
If you cross the gates while sleeping on the floor
Leavin’ all your worries at the door
God left you all alone
I see the devil on his throne
Now these dirty worn out roads, they are my home
Old mr. Shadow, old mr. Rain
7 Devils callin’, whispering my name
Old mr. Shallow, old mr. Vain
Tryin’ to outrun you, on a graveyard train
He laughs as he leads you astray
In satan’s arms he told me that he stays
He has a blackened heart
As he wallows in the dark
And forever he’ll be searchin’ for the day
