Story behind the song
'Some time ago I came up with some chord progressions and vocal melodies for the verses and chorus of a yet to be composed song about the Highway of Tears in British Columbia in West-Canada. When I came across the notes of this idea for about the third time since I wrote them down, I decided to give this mid tempo song some lyrics that blame the highway itself.'
Lyrics
Many women vanish
Since five decades now
Where this doomed road can it
Adds to the body count
Chorus:
This ill-fated highway loves the dead
Feeds on blood and thrives on final breath
And although some serial killers have
Been arrested
Tears still are shed
Dozens of innocent victims
Since 1970
Over a limited distance
In Canada’s BC
Chorus
