Space Western Collection

This album by Captain Dreadbone describes a tragedy.

Across the rim of the galaxy, two brothers walk opposite sides of the law — one bound by duty, the other by desire.
Blood and Stardust follows their trail through five chapters: the hunt through the void, a near-fatal standoff, a return from the brink, the final duel beneath Io’s cold suns, and a quiet reckoning in a cell among the stars.


Lyrics

The lawman tracked the outlaw to a moon with no air,
An old freight yard rustin’ under solar glare.
No sound but static and his boots on steel,
A ghost on the wind, a pulse he could feel.

He’d chased this man from star to star,
Through nebula storms and the edge of war.
Now the trail ran cold where the shadows pooled,
One last stand—one last fool.

Iron in the dust, sparks in the wire,
One wrong breath and the world’s on fire.
He drew too slow, the light cut clean,
Red on silver, the end unseen.

A plasma bolt screamed across the floor,
Tore through the wall, left an open door.
He saw the outlaw grin through the smoke,
Said, “Should’ve stayed gone, friend—law’s a joke.”

He fired once, then twice again,
Echoes rang through the oxygen vents.
A flash, a twist—then silence deep,
And the stars outside didn’t miss a beat.

Iron in the dust, sparks in the wire,
One wrong breath and the world’s on fire.
He drew too slow, the light cut clean,
Red on silver, the end unseen.

He hit the ground, lungs full of ash,
Blood bloomed black in the helmet’s glass.
The outlaw’s boots walked out of frame,
Left his name burned in the data chain.

No sermons here, no badge to shine,
Just driftin’ lights and a flatline sign.
The lawman’s voice on the radio cried,
“Justice don’t breathe where the stars have died.”

Lyrics

The void was quiet as prayer that night,
Engines low, ghosts hummin’ in the hull.
He’d been runnin’ since the war went cold,
Still smelled the smoke on his soul.

The stars looked on, but they don’t speak,
They just watch men fade to myth.
He left his name carved on a dying moon,
And the lawman followed it.

In the Gunsmoke Nebula, no one gets clean,
Just ash and plasma where hope used to be.
He rides the silence, I ride the flame,
Two ghosts circlin’ the same bad dream.

Heard his ship on the scanner’s breath,
Like a heartbeat caught in rust.
Every man out here’s chasin’ death,
‘Cause it’s the only one to trust.

I ain’t prayin’ for the light to come,
I ain’t waitin’ for a sign.
When the stars go dim, and the guns burn hot,
You find your truth in the line.

In the Gunsmoke Nebula, the air don’t forgive,
Just the hum of reactors remindin’ you live.
He rides the silence, I ride the flame,
Two ghosts circlin’ the same bad dream.

Driftin’ past bones of forgotten fleets,
Where time’s got teeth and memory bleeds.
Every trigger pull’s a prayer unanswered,
Every flash a dying creed.

In the Gunsmoke Nebula, the light fades slow,
No angels wait where the dead men go.
He rides the silence, I ride the flame,
‘Til the smoke clears—and we’re one and the same.

Lyrics

They found him broken in the dust and flame,
Bleedin’ out, whisperin’ one last name.
Pulse flatlined, then sparked again,
A heartbeat crawlin’ out of sin.

Doctors said, “You won’t walk no more.”
He laughed blood right onto the floor.
Said, “You patch the flesh, I’ll mend the rest—
there’s a ghost I ain’t laid to rest.”

They call me the man who wouldn’t die,
Burned in the dark, still too damn dry.
Stars can fade and suns can fry,
But you can’t kill the will in a lawman’s eye.

Out on the rim, the outlaw sang,
Burned three towns and robbed a gang.
Thought the past was ash and gone,
Didn’t know the law rode on.

News came quiet, like a ghost in smoke,
“Someone shot the Black Comet bloke.”
The outlaw grinned, raised his glass,
“Here’s to the dead that never last.”

They call me the man who wouldn’t die,
Burned in the dark, still too damn dry.
Stars can fade and suns can fry,
But you can’t kill the will in a lawman’s eye.

Then one night, in a bar off Io,
Neon hummin’, the whiskey low,
A mirror flashed a familiar scar—
The lawman waitin’ by the bar.

I’m the man who wouldn’t die,
Bleed or burn, I still get by.
He looked up slow, met my eye—
Said, “Guess I’m buyin’ your goodbye.”

No halo here, no heaven’s light,
Just two men meetin’ in endless night.
And somewhere past the neon sky,
Justice walks — and don’t ask why.

Lyrics

Neon burned pale through the lunar haze,
Two silhouettes in the static blaze.
The crowd pressed close behind the glass,
No one breathed when the moment passed.

The outlaw’s grin was cold and thin,
Said, “Didn’t think I’d see you again.”
The lawman’s coat hung dark with scars,
Said, “You know what brought me this far.”

High noon on Io, the air stands still,
Hands like serpents, eyes that kill.
One heart beats, one heart breaks,
The sun don’t shine, the ground just shakes.

Wind kicked dust from the metal street,
Boots drew lines where shadows meet.
One word hung — nobody spoke,
Then time itself just bent and broke.

Light split the dark, thunder rolled,
Heat flashed silver, then red, then cold.
Bolts flew wild like the wrath of gods,
Each shot a prayer through the odds.

High noon on Io, the world caught fire,
Smoke and silence, death and desire.
One heart beats, one heart breaks,
The sun don’t shine, the ground just shakes.

Metal screams, glass rains down,
The outlaw falls without a sound.
The lawman breathes through crimson mist,
Gun still warm in a shaking fist.

He steps in close, boots in blood,
Static hums where the wires flood.
One look exchanged, no words, no sound—
The outlaw’s eyes fade underground.

“The stars don’t judge, they just watch men fall.”
