God Don't Ride This Trail

The Sun's a blaze that blinds our eyes
Each breath we take feels like it dies
The sand I see, it burns, it bites
No shadow falls, no stars at night

Our horse is falter, ribs on show
The water is gone, no streams will flow
The wind it howls, a banshsee's wail
We're cursed to ride this endless trail

God don't ride this trail, my friend
No prayers to save, no souls to mend
The Devil's laugh is on the gale
We're lost, forsaken, bound to fail

The man I ride with bear no names
The face's gone, just dust remains
Each step we take, the ground it growns
As if it mourns for flash and bones

God don't ride this trail, my friend
No prayers to save, no souls to mend
The Devil's laugh is on the gale
We're lost, forsaken, bound to fail

The vultures circle, they know their prize
We're ghost already in their eyes
No church, no cross, there's no mercy here
Just cursed regret and searing fear

God don't ride this trail, my friend
No prayers to save, no souls to mend
The Devil's laugh is on the gale
We're lost, forsaken, bound to fail

God don't ride this trail, my friend
No prayers to save, no souls to mend
The Devil's laugh is on the gale
We're lost, forsaken, bound to fail
