[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] (Final massive impact, everything louder than everything else) Hail the King, the green and the brown Wearing the heavy Kudzu Crown Choking the life from the history bones Silent decay on the mossy stones Yeah, the South is sinkin' down Beneath the weight of the Kudzu Crown [Outro] (Feedback loop, drum fills slowing to a halt) Just sinkin' down... (Deep vocal fry) Wear the crown. (Final sustained power chord fading into amp hum)
