[Verse]
Night creeps in thick like molasses
Swamp hums low like a preacher's hymn
Teeth flash sharp in the darkened passes
Shadows slither where the light grows dim
[Prechorus]
Breath so cold it freezes my veins
Eyes like fire in the pouring rain
[Chorus]
Blood in the bayou they’re calling for more
Sins of the living don’t matter no more
Fangs in the moonlight hungry and raw
Blood in the bayou breaking the law
[Verse 2]
Spanish moss drips like a widow’s tears
Cypress knees claw from the blackened mud
Footsteps echo where no soul appears
The air tastes thick like iron and blood
[Prechorus]
Laughter echoes but it ain’t no joke
They’ll drain you dry leave nothing but smoke
[Chorus]
Blood in the bayou they’re calling for more
Sins of the living don’t matter no more
Fangs in the moonlight hungry and raw
Blood in the bayou breaking the law
