Silverload

Lyrics

Verse 1] Crows wear rosaries, bleeding gold, Every sermon’s sold in Silverload. The church bell chokes on its own toll, Saints hang smiling from the telephone poles. The preacher’s tongue is a viper’s hiss, He baptizes kids in kerosene bliss. I was born where mercy died, Where even angels are crucified. ⸻ [Chorus] Welcome to Silverload — Where the cross drips black and the blood don’t flow. Every soul’s been bar-coded, Every dream corroded. The ground hums low — This town’s hexed, and it won’t let go. ⸻ [Verse 2] Moonlight burns like sulfur rain, Love’s a rumor, hope’s a stain. They dance on graves with plastic crowns, Whispering prayers that drag you down. The mayor sells nightmares door to door, The choir hums like a chainsaw roar. No one leaves, they just decay, All roads curl back the same damn way. ⸻ [Bridge] Silver veins under ash-gray skin, You can’t wash out original sin. Every mirror lies, every saint’s on trial, Kiss the plague and smile. ⸻ [Final Chorus / Outro] Welcome to Silverload — Where the children sing in undertones. Hexed hearts glow like funeral chrome, We’re the dead that call this home. Yeah, welcome home… to Silverload.
