Am
Silence is broken by the sound of running horses
G
Thunder across the desert, the clashing of the forces
F
Watching close beneath Him for bloodstains in the gravel
G
'cos justice was betrayed by the pounding of the gavel -
Am | G |
Go'n down
 
Am
Freedom is Your prison when Your cursed to keep on running
G
Hard to tell the difference from the hunter 'n' the hunted
F
Looking for redemption down the barrel of a gun.
G
Your finger on the trigger, Your back against the sun -
Am G
Go'n Down , Go'n down
 
C G
Go'n down to a place where no mercy can be found -
Dm F
'n' You pay for what You've done with Your soul,
C G
Go'n down to where the darkest of the Angels circle round

He's just waiting 'cos He knows, Yes He knows

It's go'n down, go'n down

Am
Hungry for a showdown, no need to hide Your tracks
G
Driven by the memories of the things You can't get back
F
The anger's like a fever, that 'ill burn until You see
G
The fear that's in His eyes when He's fallen to His knees
 
Am G
He's go'n down, go'n down
 
C G
Go'n down to the place where no mercy can be found -
