Whispers on the Wind

Lyrics

Verse 1 Out past the mesas where the sun won’t stay, There’s a whisper on the wind that won’t blow away. Bootsteps echo where no man walks, And the dead ride out when the coyote talks. Chorus There's fire in the hills and blood in the ground, Mysterious forces and wickedness abound. The cards ain't kind and the stars don’t shine— The devil deals hands in this land of mine. Ride fast, ride true, don’t turn around... Or the dark'll drag you down. Verse 2 Dust coats the chapel, the bell’s rusted shut, The preacher speaks in tongues with a cold-blood cut. Shadows crawl where the daylight died, And the truth gets lost with the ones who lied. Chorus There's fire in the hills and blood in the ground, Mysterious forces and wickedness abound. The cards ain't kind and the stars don’t shine— The devil deals hands in this land of mine. Ride fast, ride true, don’t turn around... Or the dark'll drag you down. Bridge They say a reckoning’s coming near, With ghost-fire eyes and a voice you fear. So hitch your horse and grip that steel— ‘Cause what’s hunting you out there is real. Final Chorus There's fire in the hills and blood in the ground, Mysterious forces and wickedness abound. The cards ain't kind and the stars don’t shine— The devil deals hands in this land of mine. So ride fast, ride true, and don’t make a sound... Or the dark’ll drag you down.
