[Intro]

(Heavy, slow groove. The bass rattles the floorboards. Feedback swells.)
(Drums kick in with a massive, lazy backbeat.)

[Verse 1]

(Vocals: Deep, gravelly, spoken-sung like a warning)
Spanish moss hangin' like a dead man’s hair
Humidity thick enough to climb a stair
Down on River Street where the cobbles bleed
She’s plantin' the root and she’s sowin' the seed.

[Verse 2]

(Guitars chug heavily on the low strings)
They say she was born in the fire of the war
With a hex on the window and a haint at the door
She don't walk, she glides through the heavy heat
Make a grown man crumble right at her feet.

[Chorus]

(Full band explosion. Wall of sound. Choir adds low-octave weight)
She’s the Witch of Savannah, honey, can’t you see?
Got the whole damn ocean bowin' on a knee
She’ll mix you a potion of whiskey and clay
And steal your soul 'fore the break of day.
Yeah, the Witch of Savannah is callin' your name.

[Verse 3]

(Bass drives the groove, guitars pull back to feedback swells)
Got a jar full of teeth and a bag full of bone
Sittin' on a porch like a cypress throne
Don’t look in her eyes, boy, don’t you dare
Or you’ll be lost in the tangled air.

[Chorus]

(Maximum volume. Crash cymbals washing out)
She’s the Witch of Savannah, honey, can’t you see?
Got the whole damn ocean bowin' on a knee
She’ll mix you a potion of whiskey and clay
And steal your soul 'fore the break of day.

[Bridge]

(Tempo slows slightly. Sludge-heavy. Dragging the beat.)
The tide comes in... (The tide comes in)
The tide goes out... (The tide goes out)
But the debt you owe... (The debt you owe)
Is comin' due right now!

[Guitar Solo]

{LAYER-6 SOLO CHOREOGRAPHY}
[Solo_Instrument: lead_guitar | Solo_Length: 8_bars]

[Bar 1-2: THE WAIT]

(intentional silence, letting the space speak, mid register, the sweet spot, barely there, whisper quiet, slow wide vibrato, feedback beginning to bloom, wah pedal sweeping slowly, Let tension build in the silence.)

[Bar 3-4: FIRST CRY]

(sustained bend pushing up, hold at the peak with conviction, mid register, the sweet spot, confident and present, slow wide vibrato, delay trails echoing behind, Single note says everything.)

[Bar 5-6: THE WEEP]

(crying bend, slow and emotional, full of feeling, high register, soaring above, powerful and driving, slow wide vibrato, delay trails echoing behind, band builds intensity with the solo, Pour out the emotion.)

[Bar 7-8: FADE TO SILENCE]

(sliding away, letting the note trail off into nothing, descending, coming back down, soft and restrained, subtle vibrato, reverb wash, spacious and wide, Fade away gracefully.)

[Chorus]

(Explosive return. Vocal layering maxed out.)
She’s the Witch of Savannah, honey, can’t you see?
Got the whole damn ocean bowin' on a knee
She’ll mix you a potion of whiskey and clay
And steal your soul 'fore the break of day!

[Outro]

(Heavy riff repeats. Slowing down to a crawl.)
The break of day...
(Feedback howl)
The break of day...
(Final power chord rings out and decays into amp buzz)
