[Verse]
Shadows move
Whisperin' low
Through the moss where the cold winds blow
Lanterns flicker
But they don’t hold
A light to the things
Old stories told
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the swamp
Demons that roam
They don’t need a house
They don’t need a home
They call your name
They call your soul
In the night
In the dark
They take control
[Verse 2]
Cypress knees like fingers rise
Reachin’ for the stars that hide
Footsteps drown in the mud’s wet sigh
No echoes left where the lost ones lie
[Prechorus]
You hear 'em singin'
Low and deep
A hymn to the ones they keep
[Chorus]
Ghosts in the swamp
Demons that roam
They don’t need a house
They don’t need a home
They call your name
They call your soul
In the night
In the dark
They take control
[Bridge]
Violin cries where the river bends
Notes like tears
No start
No end
The gospel hum
The devil’s hymn
You’re baptized here
In shadows dim
