lyrics

Out here in the dust
Ain’t no such thing as fate
Turns some men into outlaws
Keeps others shooting straight

Now if you wanna go and
Step across that line
The devil’s got a spot for you
Tangled in his vines

Upon the pages
History is wrought
In casket cages
Men are forgot
As the war rages
All through the years
It’s time that has patience
Bloody, in tears
Counting her fears

Shed not for her a bitter tear
Nor give your heart to vain regret
It's just the casket that lay here
The gem that filled it sparkles yet

A fallen angel
With hands unclean
Cloaked in fable
The bandit queen
Sparked by danger
Her fiery meed
Though the soul may fight
The body concedes
To her misdeeds

Shed not for her a bitter tear
Nor give your heart to vain regret
It's just the casket that lay here
The gem that filled it sparkles yet

Out here in the dust
Don’t matter what you say or do
Sun comes crashing down
All you’ve done comes after you

Now if you wanna go and
Step ‘cross that line
The Devil will catch up to you
All he needs is time
