Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red rock teeth Biting into evening Old mule tracks Fade into the sage Tin cup rattles On a cracked canteen Every step a story Scratched into the clay [Chorus] Superstition Mountains magic Burned into my skin Treasure in the canyon Calling me again Death on the ridge Grinning like a friend Mystery on the wind Mystery on the wind (ohhh) [Verse 2] Rusted sign Shot clean through Says “turn back” But the trail pulls me in Coyotes laugh Like they already knew Where the gold ends And the bones begin [Chorus] Superstition Mountains magic Burned into my skin Treasure in the canyon Calling me again Death on the ridge Grinning like a friend Mystery on the wind Mystery on the wind (hey) [Bridge] I trade one more sunrise For one more clue Swap one more heartbeat For a shine of truth If I vanish in the valley Let the dust confess my sin I was chasing that echo That mystery on the wind [Chorus] Superstition Mountains magic Branded in my skin Treasure in the canyon Calling me again Death on the ridge Waiting at the bend Mystery on the wind Mystery on the wind Mystery on the wind (fade)

Dusty outlaw folk with male vocals, fingerpicked acoustic and tremolo electric guitar, subtle shaker and brushed snare. Verses stay low and intimate, chorus widens with stacked harmonies and a warm organ pad. Dynamic build through the final chorus, ending on a lingering, reverb-soaked vocal line.
