Thunder Cartel - Dust and Thunder

Verse 1 Steel on the horizon Boots in the sand Whispers of vengeance Stain on my hand Shadows are calling From the ravine Ghosts of the fallen Know where I’ve been Verse 2 Wind sings in Spanish A dry, broken cry Church bells are bleeding Under a black sky Eyes like a rifle Pulse set to stone No one can save me I carve my own road Pre-Chorus The silence cracks like a rifle scream A life cut loose from a severed dream Chorus Ride through the dust and thunder Fire biting deep tonight No law, no god, no wonder Only the urge to fight Ride through the dust and thunder Echoes of steel and flame Out where the lost souls wander No man comes back the same Verse 3 Spurs strike like lightning Sparks kiss the ground Death hums a warning In every sound Six strings are crying Notes sharp as knives A hymn for the hunted Carved into lives Verse 4 Gold tastes like ashes Greed loads the gun Time is the hangman When day is done Names on a tombstone Burn in the heat Dust is the only Judge I will meet Pre-Chorus (Variation) The silence bends ‘til it breaks apart A bullet decides what survives the dark Chorus Ride through the dust and thunder Fire biting deep tonight No law, no god, no wonder Only the urge to fight Ride through the dust and thunder Echoes of steel and flame Out where the lost souls wander No man comes back the same Verse 5 Choirs in the distance Sing cracked and dry Angels are waiting But so am I Hands on the trigger Breath locked in stone The devil’s reflection Is wearing my own Verse 6 Sun bleeds to crimson Night takes the throne Last ride is calling No one goes home Wind tells my story Cold and unshriven Hell walks beside me Heaven unwritten Bridge (Instrumental break – whistling melody, distant choir feel) A whistle cuts through the bone-dry air Like ghosts still breathing a vanished prayer Guitar weeps slow like a dying wind Each note a scar that won’t rescind Chorus (Final Variation) Ride through the dust and thunder Fire tearing through tonight No law, no god, no wonder Only the right to fight Ride through the dust and thunder Echoes of steel and flame Out where the lost souls wander I won’t come back the same Outro (Soft, fading) Whistle in the wasteland Echoes remain Dust claims the footsteps No trace, no name
