Tempest Raining

Verse 1

Greasy dust on my boots

Down in the iron belly

Metal monsters grinding

Watching for the Red Eye blink

Chorus

Scraping by on the rust

Scraping by on the lead

The scrap belongs to me

Before I wind up dead

The scrap belongs to me

The scrap belongs to me

Verse 2

The Shredder come a-running

Saws biting through the black

Leaper jumps the rafters

Matriarch hiding her pack

The Rocksteer aims to flatten

Hard metal skin won't break

Verse 3

Rats came from the shadows

Supposed to be my friends

A shot right in my shoulder

Everything goes sideways

They grabbed the shiny bundle

Left me bleeding in the dirt

Chorus

Scraping by on the rust

Scraping by on the lead

The scrap belongs to me

Before I wind up dead

The scrap belongs to me

The scrap belongs to me

Bridge

Tempest in my left hand

Bobcat tucked in my belt

Anvil heavy on the hip

Fixing to make 'em felt

Make 'em pay

Make 'em pay

Make 'em crawl

Guitar Solo

Verse 4

Caught them at the tunnel

Divide the stolen goods

My Anvil spoke a lesson

Then the Tempest started raining

Took my pride right back

Lord they won't breathe no more

Chorus

Scraping by on the rust

Scraping by on the lead

The scrap belongs to me

Before I wind up dead

The scrap belongs to me

The scrap belongs to me

Outro

Got my scrap back

Got my guns

Yeah

Just a raider man

Lord

Hill country metal

Gone down

Gone down

Lord
