It Came From Hell - Draconian Reign

Xenocide

Stillborn Existence

Beginning

Deadweight Angel

This is our version of Jimi Hendrix which is really Billy Roberts and many other people's version.  Our version imagines Joe as having murdered his wife and her lover and tries to escape to the end's of the Earth.

This song took us dozens upon dozens of attempts because we wanted it to feel like it was falling apart from pure desperation.

Love, hugs, kisses, broken bones, black eyes, and broken hearts
Stevie Chaos, Skelly Spektor, Rip Mickey, and Just Toad

Lyrics
Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Caught him with my girl, cheated on me with this man,
Pulled the trigger, blood stains my soul,
Guilt drags me down, I lose control!

Hey Joe, runnin’ wild, no peace for you,
Down to Mexico, can’t break through,
But you try to run and run and break free.
What did you do, what did you do?

What did you do, what did you do?

What, what, what, what did you do?

Hey Joe, sirens wail in the desert’s glare,
Running from the heat, the law’s everywhere,
Noose on your neck, the sand burns hot,
Every step a fight, a desperate shot.

Hey Joe, runnin’ wild, no peace for you,
Down to Colombia, can’t break through,
But you try to run and run and break free.
What did you do, what did you do?

What did you do, what did you do?

What, what, what, what did you do?

Hey Joe, memories cut like a jagged blade,
Her screams echo in the midnight shade,
Someone whispers, “Run from the sin,”

Run, run, run, run, boy, run from the sin!

Hey Joe, runnin’ wild, no peace for you,
Down to Peru, can’t break through,
But you try to run and run and break free.
What did you do, what did you do?

What did you do, what did you do?

What, what, what, what did you do?

Hey Joe, Peruvian streets twist and choke,
Girls’ soft voices fade like smoke,
Your hold slips fast and your hands tremble and bleed,
Noose closes in, fulfilling their need.

Hey Joe, runnin’ wild, no peace for you,
Down to Chile, can’t break free,
But you try to run and stumble through.
What did you do, what did you do?

Noose tightens, you claw the ground,
Her ghost laughs, the only sound,
Everyone taunts, “No way to hide,”
Sweat and blood, the river flows wide.
Darkness falls, you gasp for air,
Desperation’s your only prayer,
The weight of sin, it pulls you low,
No escape from the life you sow.

Hey Joe, runnin’ wild, no peace for you,
Reached the end, can’t break free,
But you try to run and stumble through.
What did you do, what did you do?

Hey Joe, the road runs red,
Chile’s nationals around the bend, 
But you try to run and stumble through.
What did you do, what did you do?


Hey Joe, nowhere to go,
Your heart’s near dead and you slow,
No escape, just shadows and cries,
Everyone laughs as your spirit dies…

Hey Joe, was running worth it, 
Or was it all just a show,
You really almost made it, 
But this is the end of your life as you know

What, what, what, what did you do?

What, what, what, what did you do?
What, what, what, what! WHAT!
