Red Dawn, Black Hat
TitanChord
“When the dawn runs red, there ain’t no turning back.”
Black hat rides with the rising flame,
Sun spills blood on a man with no name
Every mile burns, every breath cuts thin,
The day don’t start ‘til the sins ride in
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!)
Can’t pray your way outta that— (That!)
The trail runs hard, the truth runs fast,
Red dawn comes, and it don’t look back
The sky bleeds fire, the earth breathes dust,
Every oath breaks, every iron must
Your shadow screams when the light won’t bend,
The black hat rides ‘til the reckonin’s end
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!)
Your time’s done, can’t outrun that— (That!)
The day breaks sharp, the line turns thin,
Red dawn calls, and the dark rides in
One for the dust… one for the flame,
One for the vow… one for the name.
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!)
No mercy rides on a trail like that— (That!)
The light runs red, the earth runs black,
Red dawn comes… and it won’t look back.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
“When the dawn runs red, there ain’t no turning back.”
Black hat rides with the rising flame, Sun spills blood on a man with no name Every mile burns, every breath cuts thin, The day don’t start ‘til the sins ride in
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!) Can’t pray your way outta that— (That!) The trail runs hard, the truth runs fast, Red dawn comes, and it don’t look back
The sky bleeds fire, the earth breathes dust, Every oath breaks, every iron must Your shadow screams when the light won’t bend, The black hat rides ‘til the reckonin’s end
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!) Your time’s done, can’t outrun that— (That!) The day breaks sharp, the line turns thin, Red dawn calls, and the dark rides in
One for the dust… one for the flame, One for the vow… one for the name.
Red dawn, black hat— (Hat!) No mercy rides on a trail like that— (That!) The light runs red, the earth runs black, Red dawn comes… and it won’t look back.
