Route 666
70s, soft, southern hard rock, horror balladLyrics
[INTRO]
In the blazing heat, where shadows play,
Lies a road that whispers, leading astray,
Route 666, forever cursed and hidden,
A path of lost souls, rights long forbidden.
[VERSE 1]
In the Arizona sun, under a merciless sky,
A sadistic sheriff's warden, as cold as ice,
With a chaingang of murderers, they built their despair,
Digging their graves while he just stood there.
[CHORUS]
Route 666, the haunted way,
Where violent souls forever stay.
The asphalt’s grip, their vengeful call,
Anyone who wanders, doomed to fall.
[VERSE 2]
Four decades of pain, lost and discarded,
Buried in holes where their souls were starved,
Paved over with blacktop, a sinister plan,
The highway of sorrow created by man.
[CHORUS]
Route 666, the cursed lane,
Echoes of anguish, madness and pain.
No refuge here, no hope to find,
Where the spirits rise, leaving sanity behind.
[BRIDGE]
Tools of the trade, now weapons of doom,
Rusted steel wielded from their earthly tombs,
No longer human, they haunt in wrath,
Guardians of vengeance on this cursed path.
[VERSE 3]
And whenever a poor soul fucks up and strays,
Down this accursed road, they’ll pay the price,
The chaingang awakens, with a thirst to feed,
The stories are chilling, their hunger’s greed.
[CHORUS]
Route 666, the place to fear,
Where the highway bandits make their reappear.
Ghostly presences wielding their tools,
Murderous mists where the lost are fools.
[OUTRO]
So heed this warning, if you dare to roam,
Avoid Route 666, it’s no place called home.
Eternal torment where the sunlight wanes,
Bound by the warden's unholy chains.
Forever cursed, this haunted way,
Where violent souls shall forever stay.
