Whispers in the Fog

[Verse] The mist rolls in like death on toes, In this quiet, southern town. Cows won't graze at dusk no more, 'Cause the air feels dark and down. [Verse 2] Old folks sit on porches still, Whisper tales of shadowed eyes. They speak of shapes that chill the bones, Where the eerie fog now lies. [Chorus] Oh, the fog, it brings nightmares, Monsters no one can see. Eldritch whispers in the midnight air, Lord, what's become of Tennessee? [Verse 3] Dogs won't bark, and crows take flight, When the creeping haze appears. Shrouded figures haunting nights, Stirring up our ancient fears. [Bridge] Down by the river lies a secret, Ancient stones and chanting rings. They say the townsfolk made a bargain, Now, we're paying for those things. [Verse 4] Once, we thrived on fertile land, Now, we hide behind closed doors. Hoping the fog won't seal our fate, Praying light will break once more.
