[Intro: Echoing slide guitar over distant thunder] [Verse 1: Smoke's Lament] I walked through fire with b***d on my name, Crosses burnin’ but I feel no flame. Buried my sins down in that clay, But devils rise where I used to pray. [Chorus: Gospel Haunt] Ohhh—Sinner man, where you gonna run? The river’s dry and the moon blocks the sun. Judgement's knockin' with a loaded g*n, Ain’t no mercy when the curse has begun. [Verse 2: Stack's Resolve] Smoke in my lungs, blues in my vein, Built that juke joint from rust and pain. But ghosts don’t sleep in a godless town, And the past don’t die—it just hangs around. [Bridge: Choir + Whispered Voice] (Choir: ā€œDown to the river, wash me cleanā€) (Whisper: ā€œHe was marked from the cradle, cursed unseenā€¦ā€) (Choir: ā€œForgive our b***d, forgive our screamsā€) (Whisper: ā€œBut angels don’t visit Clarksdale dreamsā€¦ā€) [Final Chorus: Full Choir + Lead Vocal] Ohhh—Sinner man, you can’t outrun, The sins you carved in the Delta sun. B***d in the soil, chains in the drum, Hell ain’t a place—it’s what you become. [Outro: Distant church bell, slide guitar fades into silence]
