Route 666

Lyrics

[INTRO] Welcome to the desert, where the sun scorches high, On a hidden road of shadows where the dead never die. Route 666, the road you shouldn’t take, Where the ghosts of the past rise from the dust and the ache. [VERSE 1] In the blistering heat, they toiled through the day, The sheriff's warden's cruel grip forcing them to stay. With sledgehammers swinging, hearts heavy with dread, Each blow was a whisper, “We’re better off dead.” [CHORUS] Route 666, a long forgotten curse, Buried pride and pain, but it only gets worse. Sinister souls of a sixties chaingang, Murdered and buried, but they rise with a bang. [VERSE 2] The shovels were clanking, digging holes in the ground, While the pickaxe was biting, their fate tightly bound. One by one taken, no mercy in sight, The sadistic sheriff’s warden sealed their fate tight. [BRIDGE] Through asphalt and sorrow, they wept in the dust, Vows of revenge forged in shadows of rust. Now they wear their tools as weapons of dread, The chaingang awakens, a thirst for the red. [CHORUS] Route 666, a long forgotten curse, Buried pride and pain, but it only gets worse. Sinister souls of a sixties chaingang, Murdered and buried, but they rise with a bang. [VERSE 3] A Jackhammer thunder cracks through the blazing air, Echoes of a warning, a sigh of despair. Whenever a poor soul wanders upon their fate, They'll feel the cold wrath of the reaping slate. [HOOK] Murderous spirits, revenge will commence, Haunting the highway, breaking down the fence. With tools of their trade forged from anguish and pain, Eternally bound in the deadly refrain. [CHORUS] Route 666, a long forgotten curse, Buried pride and pain, but it only gets worse. Sinister souls of a sixsties chaingang, Murdered and buried, but they rise with a bang. [OUTRO] So heed this warning, don’t venture too close, To the highway with the numbers of satan or you might be toast. Beware of Route six six six…
