Текст песни
[Verse 1]
Out by the broken gate
Smoke on the river road
They hit that far-off town
And took Old Paul
Left a note on the door
Said, "Tell your people wait"
But fear don't own the ridge
And it don't own fate
[Pre-Chorus]
The wire kept sparkin' all night
Word spread through the plains
One old man in chains
Set a whole world into flames
[Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Verse 2]
The President shut the map
Looked hard at every face
Said, "No more burnin' fields
No more shame in this place"
He slammed his fist on the desk
Till the glass all sang
"Bring every able son
Bring every iron thing"
[Pre-Chorus]
From the mills to the hills
From the farms to the dust
Every settler's blood
Turned hard into trust
[Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Bridge]
Let 'em hear the boots come down
Let 'em see the line
If they want the old man's life
They gonna pay in time
No more threats in the dark
No more fear in the wire
We light the road ahead
With a righteous fire
[Final Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Outro]
Better run, better run
When the horizon wakes
Old Paul, Old Paul
And the Commonwealth takes back what it makes
Out by the broken gate
Smoke on the river road
They hit that far-off town
And took Old Paul
Left a note on the door
Said, "Tell your people wait"
But fear don't own the ridge
And it don't own fate
[Pre-Chorus]
The wire kept sparkin' all night
Word spread through the plains
One old man in chains
Set a whole world into flames
[Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Verse 2]
The President shut the map
Looked hard at every face
Said, "No more burnin' fields
No more shame in this place"
He slammed his fist on the desk
Till the glass all sang
"Bring every able son
Bring every iron thing"
[Pre-Chorus]
From the mills to the hills
From the farms to the dust
Every settler's blood
Turned hard into trust
[Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Bridge]
Let 'em hear the boots come down
Let 'em see the line
If they want the old man's life
They gonna pay in time
No more threats in the dark
No more fear in the wire
We light the road ahead
With a righteous fire
[Final Chorus]
Old Paul, Old Paul
We heard that call
Old Paul, Old Paul
Now the hammer falls
Commonwealth stands tall
When the bad men crawl
Old Paul, Old Paul
We ride at dawn (ride at dawn)
[Outro]
Better run, better run
When the horizon wakes
Old Paul, Old Paul
And the Commonwealth takes back what it makes
Стиль музыки
Melodic country with heroic march pulse, mid-tempo swung drums and fingerpicked acoustic guitar under a steady kick; verse rides sparse banjo, muted bass, and gritty storytelling, pre-chorus opens with rising fiddle and handclaps, chorus hits with stacked male-female harmonies and wide steel-guitar swells. Use close-mic lead vocal, group shouts on the hook, short delay throws on key words, and a lifted bridge with tom builds and a final chorus full and bright, cinematic but earthy., country
