Lyrics
8Seconds Josiah Blount, Paul King A near ton of evil is sizing him up The cowboy seems anxious but cool He climbs on the back of this mean, angry beast He’s either brave or he’s a fool Adjusting his hat as he grips the rope tight He points to the sky then nods his head The gate’s snatched open, the demon shoots out Like a monster that Satan has bred 8 SECONDS–IN HEAVEN 8 SECONDS–ON HELL Dust rises–THE ANGELS CRY – AND WE ALL KNOW WELL 8 SECONDS–IN HEAVEN 8 SECONDS–ON HELL IT’S NOT A DREAM, THIS BULL IS MEAN BUT HE AIN’T GONNA FAIL FOR 8 SECONDS The Wicked One kicks as it twists and turns It bucks and the cowboy flies high I know he’s in trouble as he lays on his back I can see the blood in the creatures cold eye (Repeat Ch) It's trying to trample the man as he lays on the ground And just when I think death will win The clowns rush in to draw danger away The cowboy limps off with a grin 8 SECONDS–IN HEAVEN 8 SECONDS–ON HELL Dust rises–THE ANGELS CRY – AND WE ALL KNOW WELL 8 SECONDS–IN HEAVEN 8 SECONDS–ON HELL IT’S NOT A DREAM, THIS BULL IS MEAN BUT HE AIN’T GONNA FAIL HE'S GONNA LIVE TO TELL THE TALE OF 8 SECONDS (©Josiah Blount, Way Low Halo)
