Death Town Moonshine

Down a broken road past the last dim light
Where the crows don't fly and the sun won't rise
There's a town they whisper, don't say its name
But I took one step, and I ain't the same

Graves like teeth in the rotten ground
And a hollow choir makes a distant sound
I was thirsty, shaking, half outta mind
Till I found that jar, that death town shine

Black glass bottle, cold as sin
Heard a voice say boy, let me in

I drank that Death Town Moonshine
Now the dead walk right beside mine
Hear 'em sing in the pale moonlight
Ain't no sleep on the other side

Death Town Moonshine, burning slow
Feel my heartbeat start to go
If you taste it once, you'll never leave
Now the graveyard's got its hold on me

Saw a lady dressed in mourning black
Soft as silence but her eyes stared back
Said: Don't you fear, I don't bring pain
Then she smiled like death knew my name

Chains don't rattle, they hum real low
Like a lullaby from down below
Every sip pulls me deeper in
Till I can't tell life from where I've been

Cold hands resting on my skin
Stay a while, let it begin

I drank that Death Town Moonshine
Now the dead walk right beside mine
Hear 'em sing in the pale moonlight
Ain't no sleep on the other side

Death Town Moonshine, take my breath
Every drop just smells like death
If you hear 'em call, don't you reply
Or you'll never make it out alive

Voices crawling through my head
Join the quiet, join the dead
No more pain and no more fear
Just their song forever near

I tried to run but my legs won't move
Roots in my veins like a buried truth
That shine ain't drink, it's a cursed key
Now Death Town's door, is inside of me

I drank that Death Town Moonshine
Now I'm something left behind
Hear me sing in the pale moonlight
Another soul lost to the night

Death Town Moonshine, pass it 'round
Let 'em all come gather 'round
Take a sip and you will see
You'll be right down here with me
