Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said she slipped while fetching pail,
A tale they told, so frail, so pale.
But whispers stir where no light dwells—
A secret sunk in Dust Creek's well.
[Verse 2]
The priest and lawman, robes and badge,
Held hands unclean, with hearts so black.
She cried for help no soul would tell—
They took her down and sealed the well.
[Chorus]
Ashes in the well, water runs red,
Truth lies buried with the dead.
They built their peace on sin and shame,
And cursed her soul to hide their name.
[Verse 3]
She was the first, the silence spread,
Others vanished, left for dead.
The townsfolk prayed, but never spoke—
Their voices drowned beneath the smoke.
[Bridge – whispered/spoken]
Sometimes the rope still creaks at night,
And shadows pass the lantern light.
The wind will cry what no one tells—
The names still echo from the well.
[Final Chorus]
Ashes in the well, they call for grace,
Their voices stain this sacred place.
No sermon, badge, or chapel bell
Can hush the ghosts inside that well.
[Outro – whispered, distant harmonica]
They knelt and lied...
Then watched her fall...
And built their heaven on that wall.
