The dead man's hand holds aces & eights
The father to the son
Dead man's hand holds, aces & eights
And walks these streets
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Love was the law, sinners and saints
Standing in line at the border
The dead man's hand holds aces & eights
Love was the law for sinners and saints
And watch our bones fall in the dust
Bad blood flows from
Hanging on to nothing
For sinners and saints
Aces & eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Aces & eights
Hanging on to nothing
We let each other bleed
It's all they see in the hour of the wolf
Love was the law
The father to the son
Hanging on to nothing
I wanna tell 'em how it should be
How red the river runs, yeah
Love was the law
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Aces & eights, hey, aces & eights
Daytime, nighttime
How red the river runs, yeah
How red the river runs, yeah
For sinners and saints
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Hey, aces & eights
Hanging on to nothing, hey, aces & eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Bad blood flows from
The dead man's hand holds
Love was the law, love was the law
Dead man's hand holds
You can hear the children howl
Aces & eights
Hanging on to nothing
Love cuts you down to the bone
With the eyes of a hunter
Bad blood flows from
The father to the son
I wanna lay down the law
For sinners and saints
