Lyrics:
Verse 1:
I’m walkin’ down a lonesome mile
Where the moon's a widow dressed in pale
Shadows dance in twisted lines
As whispers ride the midnight gale
Every step stirs memories
Buried deep in the crimson dust
On haunted roads where spirits weep
In broken dreams and silent rust
Chorus:
Crimson dust on haunted roads
Ghosts of love in faded prose
The past is carved in brittle bones
Where the wind of sorrow moans
Oh, crimson dust on haunted roads
Where every heartache echoes close
Verse 2:
I met a stranger, eyes like coal
He said, "Son, these roads don’t lead to gold"
He spoke of souls lost in the night
Bound to wander, never right
But I’m drawn to where the red dust blows
Chained by sins that no one knows
On this path where shadows grow
I face the dark, I walk alone
Chorus:
Crimson dust on haunted roads
Ghosts of love in faded prose
The past is carved in brittle bones
Where the wind of sorrow moans
Oh, crimson dust on haunted roads
Where every heartache echoes close
Bridge:
There’s no redemption, no sweet release
Just the sound of chains and the devil’s peace
These haunted roads lead nowhere new
Just circles back to the ghost of you
Final Chorus:
Crimson dust on haunted roads
Ghosts of love in faded prose
The past is carved in brittle bones
Where the wind of sorrow moans
Oh, crimson dust on haunted roads
Where every heartache echoes close
