Aces & Eights Lyrics

We only take what we need
In black and white the city bleeds
Love cuts you down to the bone
And walks these streets with the eyes of a hunter
Bad blood flows from the father to the son
How red the river runs

Love was the law for sinners and saints
Dead man's hand holds Aces & Eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Hanging on to nothing
Aces & Eights

We let each other bleed
And watch our bones fall in the dust
You can hear the children howl
It′s all they see in the hour of the wolf
Bad blood flows from the father to the son
How red the river runs

Love was the law for sinners and saints
Dead man's hand holds Aces & Eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Love was the law for sinners and saints
Dead man's hand holds Aces & Eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Hanging on to nothing
Aces & Eights

Daytime - Nighttime
Standing in line at the border
I wanna lay down the law
I wanna tell 'em how it should be

Bad blood flows from the father to the son
How red the river runs
Love was the law

Love was the law for sinners and saints
Dead man's hand holds Aces & Eights
We're bound by wire, blood and fate
Hanging on to nothing
Aces & Eights
