The Killers of Murder

Dust Bowl Dirge

A mournful country folk song by The Killers of Murder, lamenting Kansas dust storms.

Dust bowl dirge, in the storm so fierce
Pierce

Strings weep for the barren land
Stand

Chorus

Dust bowl dirge, sing the sorrow's song
Long

Country hearts ache for the home so lost
Cost

Flames of dust, choke the sky so gray
Day

In the dirge, find the soul's faint cry
Why

Chorus

Dust bowl dirge, sing the sorrow's song
Long

Country hearts ache for the home so lost
Cost

Bridge

When the storm passes, silence remains
Chains

Dust bowl dirge, in the rain

Outro

Dust bowl dirge, eternal moan
Alone
