[Verse 1]
Beneath a crimson western sky,
The cowboy’s shadow rides on by,
His spurs still jingle, cold and worn,
To echoes of a battle sworn.
The plains once whispered lullabies,
Now thunder hums where bullets fly,
A badge of rust, a heart of steel,
He carries wounds that never heal.
[Chorus]
Oh, dust and valor, b***d and lore,
The guns we bless, the sins we bore,
Through fire’s breath and endless night,
We’re riders marching into light.
The sagebrush weeps for fallen sons,
The w*r ain’t done till all are one,
In golden fields or hell’s front door—
We ride for peace, but die for w*r.
[Verse 2]
A letter folded in his coat,
Her name etched where the ink still floats,
A locket cracked, a faded face,
He’ll kiss it ‘fore the final race.
The cannons roar, the coyotes cry,
The land drinks tears from every eye,
His horse slows down, the trail runs red,
A brother’s vow, a vow unsaid.
[Chorus]
Oh, dust and valor, b***d and lore,
The guns we bless, the sins we bore,
Through fire’s breath and endless night,
We’re riders marching into light.
The sagebrush weeps for fallen sons,
The w*r ain’t done till all are one,
In golden fields or hell’s front door—
We ride for peace, but die for w*r.
[Bridge]
The whiskey’s truth burns down his throat,
A final toast to those who float,
In dreams where fire meets the shore,
And ash is all we’re fighting for.
The stars align like rifles raised,
The earth will sing our names, amazed,
But tonight, the wind just moans—
A requiem for b***d-stoned bones.
[Chorus]
Oh, dust and valor, b***d and lore,
The guns we bless, the sins we bore,
Through fire’s breath and endless night,
We’re riders marching into light.
The sagebrush weeps for fallen sons,
The w*r ain’t done till all are one,
In golden fields or hell’s front door—
We ride for peace, but die for w*r.
