Hunted in the Bayou (1)

Lyrics

Yeah, but he won't die tonight
Yeah, yeah
Fall grows in on the cypress nays
Moon cuts sharp through the tingle of trees
Boot steps soft on the old wet ground
Hunter stalks with his rifle down
But the wind ain't right, something feels off
Breath turns cold, hear a distinct cough
Branches snap in a staggered sound
Suddenly the hunter ain't the only one around
Shadows move where the light can't reach
Grooms drift low like a dying speech
Heart says run, pride to stay
But the bayou always has its own way
Now T. Diddy Dog's being hunted
In the bayou tonight
Zombies creeping through the mire
Glowing eyes in the moonlight
With the dead rising up
Closing in from all sides
He's surviving, barely breathing
But he's still alive
Yeah, the hunter's being hunted
But he won't die tonight
Moss drips down like a funeral shroud
Crickets go silent though they used to be allowed
Something splashes where nothing should be
Rot in hunger, swirling out of the deep
He climbs a stump, checks the rounds he's got
Not enough, but it's all he brought
A whisper echoes cold as a grave
You can't hunt the dark when you're the dark's prey
Footsteps shuffle through mud and bone
He ain't fought anything this far gone
But he grips that rifle steady and tight
If they want him, they'll earn the fight
Cause G-Diddy Dog's being hunted in the bayou tonight
Zombies clawing through the cattails with a hunger that bites
Every shadow in the swamp wants a piece of his life
But he's running, fighting, bleeding, still he survives
Yeah, the hunter's being hunted
But he won't die tonight
He lights a torch with a spark and a prayer
Holds it high, flames cut through the air
Dead hands reach, but the fire screams back
And he carves his path through the heart of the black
Swamp might claim him one day, that's true
But not tonight
Not while he breaks through
See Diddy Dog's being hunted in the bayou tonight
But the fire in his chest burns too fierce for the night
With the dead lying silent and the dawn taking flight
He's surviving, still standing, yeah he won that fight
The hunter was hunted, but he lived through the night
We'll see you next time.
