Route 666

Lyrics

[INTRO]
On the edge of the desert, where the sun beats down,
A hidden path lies waiting, where lost souls drown.
Underneath the asphalt, history’s alive,
Route 666 is calling, where the shadows thrive.

[VERSE 1]
In the blistering heat, the chaingang marched,
They were bandits of the highway, no remorse, no heart.
Built by the cruel hands of a warden’s decree,
Their fate sealed in the ground, they’d never be free.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, a long forgotten way,
Cursed by the souls, who won't let you stray.
In the depth of the night, their vengeance unfurls,
The chaingang's tools of murder, rising from the world.

[VERSE 2]
With sledgehammers swinging, justice turned cruel,
Shovels digging deep, in the shadow of a fool.
Pickaxes raised high, they met their cold end,
Buried under blacktop, no warning to send.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, a long forgotten way,
Cursed by the souls, who won't let you stray.
In the depth of the night, their vengeance unfurls,
The chaingang's tools of murder, rising from the world.

[BRIDGE]
They haunt every curve, every bump in the road,
Seeking out the innocent, bearing their load,
Chains rattle softly as darkness descends,
If you dare drive down, your life could be spent.

[VERSE 3]
At the break of dawn, the road seems to glow,
But beware the dead men, they lurk down below.
Jackhammers roar, shattering the calm,
The clanging of loose chains, is a sinister balm.

[CHORUS]
Route 666, a long forgotten way,
Cursed by the souls, who won't let you stray.
In the depth of the night, their vengeance unfurls,
The chaingang's tools of murder, rising from the world.

[OUTRO]
So heed this caution, as you venture near,
This Arizona highway is haunted, filled with terror and fear.
Route 666 beckons, but it’s not what it seems,
A graveyard for the living, shattered hopes and dreams.
