🎵 Title: “Creek Turns Red (Reckonin’)”
[Intro – Spoken, distorted voice]
You hear that?
That’s the sound of the past… crawlin’ back up the bank.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Rap]
Yeah, boots in the mud and a cross on the dash
Ash on my knuckles and a name I won’t flash
They buried the truth where the cypress bled
Now the sky gone black and the creek runs red
Got dogs in the holler, masks in the trees
Preacher went missin’ when he fell to his knees
Ain’t no hymns when the blood don’t dry
Just smoke in the wind and a battle cry
⸻
[Chorus – Rock/Sung, heavy guitars]
Creek turns red, no turnin’ back
Fire on the water, wolves in the shack
Chains in the soil, thunder overhead
You break that seal, you wake the dead
⸻
[Verse 2 – Rap/half-sung]
Shotgun shells in a velvet pouch
Truth tied tight in the governor’s mouth
They play God, now the ground fights back
And the roots don’t sleep when the sky turns black
Ghosts in the floodplain hummin’ low
Like a trapline beat with a death row flow
Told y’all once, now I say it again:
You can’t buy peace with a lab-bred sin
⸻
[Chorus – Repeat, add backing screams & echo]
Creek turns red, no turnin’ back
Fire on the water, wolves in the shack
Chains in the soil, thunder overhead
You break that seal, you wake the dead
⸻
[Bridge – Spoken & Screamed]
This ain’t folklore
This is prophecy with a chainsaw
This is payback in pine tar
This is blood, and it knows who you are
⸻
[Final Chorus – Full throttle rock]
Creek turns red, better run like hell
Sirens wail and the church don’t tell
We the dogs, we the boots, we the last regret
One spark lights, and the past gets set
