Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The asphalt’s bleeding and the sky is turning black
A lifetime of transgressions crawling right up on my back
I hear the pounding paws, the heavy breath behind
The manifestations of the sins I left to blind
Every vice I ever tasted, every debt I didn’t pay
Is coming for its pound of flesh to drag me all the way!

(Chorus)
Run from the hellhound, tearing through the night!
Outrun the shadow, chasing down the light!
The groove is a heartbeat, the rhythm is a trap
The map is on fire and the jaws are gonna snap!
The dark is calling out my name
But I will never feed the flame!

(Verse 2)
Caught in the cycle, every promise is a lie
The urge is a fever and the well is running dry
I try to fight the craving but the hunger pulls me down
While the black dog hunts me to the edges of the town
No time to breathe, no time to look around
The weight of my decisions is a predator unbound!

(Chorus)
Run from the hellhound, tearing through the night!
Outrun the shadow, chasing down the light!
The groove is a heartbeat, the rhythm is a trap
The map is on fire and the jaws are gonna snap!
The dark is calling out my name
But I will never feed the flame!

(Bridge)
The darkness beckons, it wants me to submit.
To throw myself right down into the bottom of the pit.
But there’s a flicker... a tiny spark of grace!
I am more than the corruption that I cannot erase!
I WON'T BEND THE KNEE! I WON'T SLOW THE PACE!

(Verse 3)
The final stretch of highway, the crossroads in the dust
Breaking every chain of the obsession and the lust
The beast is at my heels but the morning starts to break
I am running for my life, for every choice I have to make!

(Chorus)
Run from the hellhound, tearing through the night!
Outrun the shadow, chasing down the light!
The groove is a heartbeat, the rhythm is a trap
The map is on fire and the jaws are gonna snap!
The dark is calling out my name
BUT I WILL NEVER FEED THE FLAME!

(Outro)
Keep moving...
Don't look back...
The flicker turns to fire.
