A southern swamp ritual is swinging Blind-folded and bound, my ears are ringing And they beat that heavy jungle drum Chanting incantations and spells, till my mind goes numb
Rope tears at my flesh, it binds my fractured bones Weeping tears, prayers in fire, I wanna go home I'm hanging high, my ribs are slit like christ I smell the fires burning in the night
I'm bleeding down the bayou I cannot run Cannot break Cannot escape this place
The flames lick my skin and I bleed, bleed, bleed I'm now encircled by the bodyguards of greed I'm not the only victim, I'm sure there's many more Sacrifices in the woods to an ancient carnivore
