Lyrics
OPENING: 0:00 - 0:30
Elements: Slide guitar moan at 75 BPM, E minor, 3s reverb, lonesome vibe. Soft harmonica sigh, dust swirl (1x, 10s). Boot crunch, coyote wail.
Vocals: Male, husky, 3s reverb.
Trail… burns… red…
WANDER I: 0:30 - 0:50
Elements: Guitar slides, harmonica wails, kick drum thumps. Mirage hum (1x), vulture cry.
Vocals: Male, somber, 3s reverb.
Crimson Trail, my name’s a scar…
Worn by sins beneath the stars…
Sand drinks tears I can’t repay…
Guilt’s my guide through endless day…
RISE: 0:50 - 1:20
Elements: Tempo lifts to 90 BPM, guitar growls, snare rattles, harmonica howls. Dust swirl (1x), fire crackle.
Vocals: Male, raw, 3s reverb.
Red dust requiem, my soul’s lament…
Sing for peace, where mercy’s spent…
Walk till bones turn dry and frail…
Chasing grace down Crimson Trail…
Bleed… roam… pray…
PAUSE: 1:20 - 1:40
Elements: Guitar softens, harmonica drones, kick fades. Mirage hum (1x), boot crunch.
Vocals: Male, whispered, 2s reverb.
Mirage of home, it taunts my eyes…
Was I the truth, or my own lies?
Will dust absolve, or bind me tight?
WANDER II: 1:40 - 2:00
Elements: Guitar keens, snare tightens, harmonica mourns. Vulture cry (1x), fire crackle.
Vocals: Male, aching, 3s reverb.
Ghosts of wrongs trail in my wake…
Each step a wound I can’t unmake…
Plead to skies, their silence stings…
Blues my chains, yet still I sing…
RISE: 2:00 - 2:20
Elements: Guitar surges, drums pound, harmonica cries. Dust swirl (1x), coyote wail.
Vocals: Male, soaring, 3s reverb.
Red dust requiem, my soul’s lament…
Sing for peace, where mercy’s spent…
Walk till bones turn dry and frail…
Chasing grace down Crimson Trail…
CLOSING: 2:20 - 2:30
Elements: Guitar fades, harmonica softens, dust swirl (1x). Boot crunch fades.
Vocals: Male, soft, 3s reverb.
Effects: Dust swirl, silence.
