[start] [Intro: Pipe organ with deep choir hums, faint reverb like in a crypt] [Verse 1] A smile with rot, a century old, Stories of death that never grow cold. Hands of a worker, grip like a chain, But his name drips sorrow, his eyes drip pain. [Chorus] (Choir whispers) Teeth of Jacob, bones of dust, Rise from the roadside, return we must. Walking the mile where the dead still roam, Never belong, never go home. [Verse 2] He laughs in shadows, voice decayed, Haunting the living, debts unpaid. The road remembers, silence screams, A ghost in overalls haunts my dreams. [Chorus] (Choir whispers) Teeth of Jacob, bones of dust, Rise from the roadside, return we must. Walking the mile where the dead still roam, Never belong, never go home. [Bridge: Choir swells, dissonant violin shrieks layer in] [Final Chorus: All voices echo, ghostly whispers behind main vocal] [Outro: Organ drone fades into hollow wind] [end]
