Ruin Don’t Ride Alone

They say death rides quiet, dressed in black, But I been hearin’ boots behind my back Ain’t mine, I thought — not yet, not so But ruin don’t ride alone, you know

Ruin don’t ride alone, It waits beside your bones You think you’re leadin’ fate — But you’re just flesh on loan

I spoke to fire, and fire spoke back, Left a trail like a broken track A preacher wept but wouldn’t stay — Even grace don’t walk this way

Ruin don’t ride alone, It’s carved into your tone You can lie to God — But the wind still knows your moan

I wear the face of who I was, Stripped of law and stripped of cause If mercy lives, I never met — Just shadows that won’t forget

Ruin don’t ride alone, It’s in your blood, your stone It don’t knock — it just comes home… And leaves you there, unknown
