[Verse] Dust on my boots as I ride through the haze The wind whispers secrets of forgotten days Every shadow's a ghost from battles I've faced The trail stretches endless like time gone to waste [Chorus] I’m a drifter a shadow a storm in the night With the scars of the past as my only birthright The wind at my back sings a sorrowful tune Underneath the pale gaze of a cold hollow moon [Verse 2] I’ve seen rivers run dry and the earth split in pain Heard the cries of the lost in the thundering rain I’ve held gold in my hands watched it slip through my grasp Now I hold onto nothing but the weight of the past [Bridge] The vultures they circle the wolves keep their watch Every mile’s a story every scar is a notch But the road calls my name and the night hums its hymn I ride with the silence no saints no seraphim [Chorus] I’m a drifter a shadow a storm in the night With the scars of the past as my only birthright The wind at my back sings a sorrowful tune Underneath the pale gaze of a cold hollow moon [Verse 3] One day I’ll lay down when the horizon fades When the sun burns its last in the western cascade But for now I keep riding till the stars start to weep For the man with no home and no promises to keep
