Dust don't Lie

[Verse 1]
They dragged me down to Gallows Hill,
The rope was tight, the crowd was still.
The Sheriff spoke with holy breath —
But his hands carved my quiet death.



[Verse 2]
They say Dust Creek is clean and bright,
But I saw shadows dressed in white.
The judge, the priest, the banker’s bride —
All part of what they tried to hide.



[Chorus]
Dust don’t lie, and sins don’t fade,
I haunt the blood their children made.
They feared my truth, they feared my name —
So they wrapped my neck in justice' shame.
But you can’t kill what’s bound to rise —
And I still ride beneath their lies.



[Verse 3]
They called me outlaw, called me curse,
But what I saw — oh, it was worse.
The missing girls, the orphaned cries,
The holy men with devil’s eyes.



[Bridge – Whispering]
No cross was raised, no words were said,
They left me swinging, cold and dead.
But winds remember, dirt keeps score —
And Dust Creek’s ghosts don’t sleep no more.



[Final Chorus]
Dust don’t lie, and ropes don’t cleanse,
I ride with rage that never ends.
Their pretty walls, their Sunday hymns —
Can’t drown the sound of justice grim.
So tell the tale, but speak it true —
Or I’ll return, just like the dew.



[Outro – Spoken, fading]
I am the vengeance they all fear...
Through their sins,
I’m still here.
