Butcher of the Prairie

In a dust-choked town where the shadows play
I rode my horse down that old dirt way
With a grin like a snake, I drew 'em near
The whispers of my name filled the air with fear
From the campfire glow, I recall the night
The taste of whiskey, the thrill of the fight
With every soul I took, I felt alive
In the heart of chaos, my demons thrive
I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease
In the heart of the night, where the stars are my scale
Im the hunter, the haunted in this hellish tale
I remember one night, a drifter came through
Said, "Friend, take a drink, I've got stories for you."
But the moment he blinked, his fate was sealed
I carved out a legend, like a new harvest field
The moonlight danced on my blade so bright
As his screams faded out, swallowed by night
With a grin full of pride, I packaged the sin
Sold the taste of his fear, let the games begin

I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease
In the heart of the night, where the stars are my scale
Im the hunter, the haunted in this hellish tale
Oh, the saddest songs linger on the breeze
A lullaby for the lost, under whispering trees
I'm a ghost of a cowboy, with a heart made of stone
In this land of the living, I'm forever alone

I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease
In the heart of the night, with the stars as my scale
I'm the hunter, the haunted, in this hellish tale
In this hellish tale
In a dust-choked town where the shadows play
I rode my horse down that old dirt way
With a grin like a snake, I drew 'em near
The whispers of my name filled the air with fear
From the campfire glow, I recall the night
The taste of whiskey, the thrill of the fight
With every soul I took, I felt alive
In the heart of chaos, my demons thrive

I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease
The saddest songs linger on the breeze
A lullaby for the lost, under whispering trees
I'm a ghost of a cowboy, with a heart made of stone
In this land of the living, I'm forever alone
So if you hear my name
Just think twice
In the shadows i thrive rollin' my dice
In a world full of cowboys im the one to fear
The butcher of the prairie ill always be near
In a dust-choked town where the shadows play
I rode my horse down that old dirt way
With a grin like a snake, I drew 'em near
The whispers of my name filled the air with fear
From the campfire glow, I recall the night
The taste of whiskey, the thrill of the fight
With every soul I took, I felt alive
In the heart of chaos, my demons thrive
I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease

In the heart of the night, with the stars as my scale
I'm the hunter, the haunted, in this hellish tale

I'm the butcher of the prairie, where the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
With the scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, they never cease

In the heart of the night, with the stars as my scale
I'm the hunter, the haunted, in this hellish tale

I remember one night, a drifter came through
Said, "Friend, take a drink, I've got stories for you."
But the moment he blinked, his fate was sealed
I carved out a legend, like a new harvest field
The moonlight danced on my blade so bright
As his screams faded out, swallowed by the night
With a grin full of pride, I packaged the sin
Sold the taste of his fear, let the games begin

I'm the butcher, the prairie, the wild winds moan
Addicted to the silence when I'm all alone
Scent of the sunset, I find my peace
But the weight of their echoes, never cease
