Track Insight / Lyrics
Rusted chains on the porch swing, creaking ghostly tales
Of storms that swept the gulf, of spirits' Appalachian wails
Ocean's roar, a distant heartbeat, as the cypress trees lean in
Echoes of the damned, lost souls trapped within
Beneath the Spanish moss, a tortured melody
Crawling from the heartwood, a symphony of misery
Bayou bane, a haunted lullaby, a dirge in the night
Slave to the levees, forever wailing, without light
Hull-hewn wooden planks, as worn as the captain's bones
Stories of the deep, of sonar reaches and titanic thrones
Sea goddesses in the swirl, mandala rainbows, feeding the whole
Beneath the alligator's reign, the bayou keeps its secrets cold
Beneath the Spanish moss, a tortured melody
Crawling from the heartwood, a symphony of misery
Bayou bane, a haunted lullaby, a dirge in the night
Slave to the levees, forever wailing, without light
When the full moon's silver light touches the land
Phantoms rise, restless essences, forever damned
Bayou's dark history etched, in every craggy bend
An unholy marriage, of water and sin, never-ending
Beneath the Spanish moss, a tortured melody
Crawling from the heartwood, a symphony of misery
Bayou bane, a haunted lullaby, a dirge in the night
Slave to the levees, forever wailing, without light
Wind whispers the old tales, as fireflies dance and fade
Bayou's restless spirit sighs, a mournful finale played
Moon sets, night descends, a heavy curtain falls
Leaving only echoes, which the bayou's darkness recalls
