Lyrics
Intro – distant Gregorian monks, low drone in D minor
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
(No name… on the stone…)
Verse 1 – sparse acoustic guitar + faint church organ
I came up from the mud with the taste of the earth
Chasin’ horizons that never gave birth
City lights on my back like a chain made of gold
They smile while they pray that my story goes cold
rap 1
Tank full of ghosts, past ridin’ shotgun
Every mile another grave I outrun
Raised too many glasses to nights I survived
Came close to the fire but somehow stayed alive
If the heavens stay silent I’ll light my own way
From the bridges I burned just to see a new day
Chorus – full choir enters, soaring Gregorian harmony under raw country vocal
I might never come back home
Draped in gold and glory gone
Bury me on a back road
In a flyover state with no name on the stone
I don’t want nobody crying at my grave
Don’t want my people carrying that weight
Just bury me on a back road
In a flyover state… no name on the stone
Gregorian Interlude I – monks only, Latin, hauntingly beautiful
Kyrie eleison
Christe eleison
Kyrie eleison
Requiem
aeternam dona eis,
Domine
Et lux perpetua luceat eis…
Verse 2 – fingerpicked banjo + swelling strings
I’ve been cut by my blood, been lied to by love
Watched truth turn to ash in the hands I once held up
Carried that iron till my soul turned to rust
Karma don’t sleep and karma don’t trust
rap 2
Tell my babies their daddy fought hard for their dawn
Every scar was a prayer that they’d carry on
Take what you need when the crows have their fill
I bought tomorrow with the blood that I spilled
Let the world say its piece, I won’t hear the rain
Just lay me down quiet where the lost stay unnamed
Chorus – choir and lead vocal in perfect harmony
I might never come back home
Draped in gold and glory gone
Bury me on a back road
In a flyover state with no name on the stone
I don’t want nobody crying at my grave
Just let the tall grass whisper my name
Bury me on a back road
In a flyover state… no name on the stone
Gregorian Bridge – full monastic choir, a cappella
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem sempiternam
Final Chorus – soft, almost whispered, choir fading underneath
I’ll never come back home
Draped in gold and long since gone
Bury me on a back road
In a flyover state with no name on the stone
No tears, no crowd, no saving grace
Just the wind across that empty space
Bury me on a back road
In a flyover state…
No name on the stone
Outro – single monk voice, echoing into silence
Requiem
aeternam…
Dona eis, Domine…
Et lux perpetua luceat eis…
Amen.
