The Swamp Claims Everything

+ Show full styles

V6-MINI

(Intro - Eerie, weeping slide guitar over a slow, grinding swamp doom sludge beat, distant thunder)

(Whispered, gravelly)
The hounds are loose in the bayou... 
And they smell your fear in the dirt.
Let's see how fast you can run when the blood starts to rise.

(Verse 1 - Slow, heavy, swamp-blues cadence, stretching vowels with dark southern soul)

Down where the cypress roots twist in the mire
I built an altar of bone and wire
You come around preaching your paper-thin grace
With a plastic smile on a hollow face
Oh, you think you’re a prophet, wrapped in a shroud?
Just another corpse screaming out to the crowd!

(Flow Switch 1 - Sudden tempo acceleration, choppy speed-rap cadence over a grinding sludge-phonk riff)

Tick, tick, tick goes the clock on your throne
Stripping the flesh from the marrow and bone
You're a phantom, a mimic, a ghost in the glass
Watching your empire crumble to ash!
Ain't got no shelter, ain't got no defense
Drowning your sorrows in consequence!

(Chorus - Massive stadium sludge-metal wall of sound, soaring, operatic, blues-haunted wails mixed with heavy distortion)

Lord, have mercy on the wicked and the weak!
Hear the gospel of the vengeance that we speak!
You can pray to the sky, you can hide in the mud
'Cause the river runs heavy with iron and blood!
(Dax wailing)
*Ohhhhh, burning down the house of the blind!*
Leaving nothing behind!

(Verse 2 - Gritty acoustic bluegrass picking layered with a fast, ticking industrial drum machine)

Spun out of rhythm, a broken-down engine
Spinning a yarn that you can't even mention
Preaching redemption while pocketing silver
Looking like a phantom shivering in a river
You talk like a giant, you walk like a fraud
Crying out loud for a merciful god—

(Flow Switch 2 - Explosive shift into hyper-speed Detroit-style chopper flow, raw, frantic, spitfire delivery)

—but there ain't none here, and there never was a trace
Of a savior coming down to save your miserable face!
Got the pedal to the floor, breaking through the barricade
Living in the wreckage of the choices that you made!
You're a stuttering mess, you're a flash in the pan
Trying to stand where the executioner stands!

(Bridge - Total sonic collapse. Heavy doom bass drone, ominous church bells, haunting a cappella southern gothic growl)

The shadows lengthen...
The ground gives way...
There is no dawn...
At the end of this day.

(Outro - Sudden explosion back into a frantic, double-time doom-metal breakdown, vocals screaming and chopping simultaneously until a violent cutoff)

RUN! 
Don't look back! 
The swamp claims everything in the end!
(Gutteral shriek)
CUT THE MIC!
