Swamp Blues Requiem

[Verse] Darkness falls here tonight Cold wind whispers our plight Swamp beneath old cypress trees Death is near it doesn’t tease [Verse 2] Voices howl in the air Silent prayers hearts laid bare Holy spirits hear my cry In this swamp we live we die [Chorus] God above can you hear me Midnight shadows can you free me Darkness holding death so near Swamp blues sing with haunted fear [Verse 3] Mud and water drag me down Lost in sorrow nowhere bound Seeking light among the gloom Souls once living now entombed [Verse 4] Percussions beat like a heart Deeper sadness torn apart Gospel echoes through the night In this darkness find the light [Chorus] God above can you hear me Midnight shadows can you free me Darkness holding death so near Swamp blues sing with haunted fear
