Hellhound’s Coming for You
Alexandria de Sirius
If you're here to listen, then hear
This tale you ought to know
Robert johnson filled with fear
A poor bluesman long ago
He loved the blues but played out of tune
Mocked and thrown from every bar
Then one dark and silent Moon
He wandered off both near and far
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
Then one crossroads called his name
Midnight black as coal and sin
There he summoned something strange
And a shadow stepped within
You wanna play, boy? Say it true
Sulfur lingered on its hand
It tuned his guitar straight through
With cursed fingers cold and damned
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
A single tear fell with the note
From robert's stunned and shaking eyes
Then the devil laughed and spoke
Now you're ready, hear it rise
And robert played without a soul
Never saw the hours crawl
On the ground a serpent rolled
Whispering fate behind it all
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
From the crossroads fast he fled
To another town to play
Within half an hour there
He stole every soul away
And so the easy years rolled on
Till one burning summer night
Far-off howls came creeping strong
His guitar answered in fright
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
Terrified, he ran alone
Through the darkness cold with dread
Then he fell beside the road
And at the crossroads lay there dead
The devil smiled beside the flame
Another player for his band
Cruel infernal halls of fame
Taking the best in every land
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
Hellhound's coming for you tonight
Roaming crossroads in the heat
Don't get lost beneath the night
Never trust the smile you meet
