[INTRO]
On Route 666, where the shadows creep,
A tale of the chaingang, buried oh so deep.
Lost souls rise from the dead, cursed to roam,
On this forgotten road, no place feels like home.
[VERSE 1]
Route 666, a highway so grim,
Sunshine hides the sin, the lights grow dim.
A chaingang of robbers from a darker time,
Violent souls bound by fate and crime.
Killed by the warden, shot down in their charade,
In holes they dug, their memories fade.
[CHORUS]
Here they come, the ghosts of the past,
Chaingang spirits, shadows that last.
With tools of the trade, they sharpen their rage,
On Route 666, they break free from the cage.
[VERSE 2]
Buried 'neath asphalt, forever entwined,
Arizona's fury, down in the grind.
Outcasts and liars, now part of this road,
With a vengeance they seek, a heavy heart bestowed.
No longer human, but haunting sights,
Evil apparitions, unleash their frights.
[CHORUS]
Here they come, the ghosts of the past,
Chaingang spirits, shadows that last.
With tools of the trade, they sharpen their rage,
On Route 666, they break free from the cage.
[BRIDGE]
They’ll take you down with their wicked tools,
Shovels and pickaxes, they’ll make you the fool.
Sledgehammers swing in a gory scene,
Jackhammers pounding, a nightmare's dream.
Dismembering the lost, it’s a gruesome dance,
In the hands of the damned, there's no second chance.
[CHORUS]
Here they come, the ghosts of the past,
Chaingang spirits, shadows that last.
With tools of the trade, they sharpen their rage,
On Route 666, they break free from the cage.
[OUTRO]
So beware the call, of that highway of dread,
For the chaingang awaits, with a thirst for bloodshed.
On Route 666, they’ll never relent,
A tale of the damned, with sins to repent.
