Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the heat of the desert, where the shadows blend,
A tale of sorrow and vengeance, a road without end.
Beneath the sun's glare, where the blacktop gleams,
Whispers of the forgotten, lost in dark dreams.

[VERSE 1]
Out in Arizona, where the dead winds blow,
The sadistic sheriff planted seeds of woe.
A chaingang of robbers, their lives torn apart,
Built a road of despair, leaving pain in their hearts.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, the highway of dread,
Where lost souls wander, and the living fall dead.
The ghosts of the chaingang, they rise from the sand,
With tools turned to daggers, they take their last stand.

[VERSE 2]
In the heat of their labor, they thought they were free,
But the warden had other plans, oh, can’t you see?
Deep in the ground, in the graves that they made,
They were shot down to silence, their history betrayed.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, the highway of dread,
Where lost souls wander, and the living fall dead.
The ghosts of the chaingang, they rise from the sand,
With tools turned to daggers, they take their last stand.

[BRIDGE]
The highway gleams, a façade of safety,
But beneath lies a warning, a curse that’s breathing.
If you cross that line, you'll never make it home,
Know the chaingang’s calling, that road you never roam.

[VERSE 3]
Their shovels are sharp, their pickaxes gleam,
Once forged in labor, now weapons of screams.
A spectral reminder of the danger in sight,
On Route 666, you’ll be lost to the night.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, the highway of dread,
Where lost souls wander, and the living fall dead.
The ghosts of the chaingang, they rise from the sand,
With tools turned to daggers, they take their last stand.

[OUTRO]
So heed this tale, when you drive through the sun,
For Route 666 is where the devil's begun.
In the heat of the desert, with shadows of fate,
The chaingang awaits, and it’s already too late.
