The story begins with our hero running from the law, affraid for his life, when a mysterious figure appears offering him a deal.
lyrics
On a dimly lit road, a lonesome car piercing the dark
My bloody hands on the steering wheel, gun in the back.
The only passenger - dead in the trunk.
Man, I do stupid shit when I'm drunk.
But a presence is near,
right next to me in the passenger's seat
he's
Hoofstomper
Stomping his hooves, grinning and showing his teeth.
He said:
"Boy, you've done it this time, you're gonna get gunned down
and then there'll be no place for you behind the clouds.
but just play my music - it will be your way out"
Then everything vanished, I was born again
in another body, but regrets remain.
Stuck in a perpetual state of pain.
No more hope of heavenly salvation.
Hold against my will by desperation
I've agreed to lose my soul
The stomping echoes through my skull
Infernal power spilling through my fingers
Lays my fear to rest, I'll be his sulfur bringer.
Hoofstomper
He keeps on stomping.
Hoofstomper,
Just keep stomping...
