Nbill Blood Was Spilled
[Verse 1]
Saw his car parked by the diner
Half past ten on a Friday night
She was laughing with a stranger
Something about it didn't sit right
[Pre-Chorus]
Next morning, no one saw him
Keys still hanging on the wall
And when they asked her where he'd gone
She said, "He never came home at all"
[Chorus]
Blood was spilled, and the ground still reeks
Hands ain't clean, but the river speaks
He went down screaming her name
Now the wind only howls with blame
Buried deep where no one knows
But dеad men whisper through the crows
Run, you bitch, cry and plеad
But hell runs faster when it feeds
[Verse 2]
Sheriff came down, did his talking
Didn't look her in the eye
His brother swore he heard him calling
She might need an alibi
[Pre-Chorus]
She took off in the dead of night
Didn't pack a single thing
And when they searched the house next morning
They found mud and his wedding ring
[Chorus]
Blood was spilled, and the ground still reeks
Hands ain't clean, but the river speaks
He went down screaming her name
Now the wind only howls with blame
Buried deep where no one knows
But dead men whisper through the crows
Run, you bitch, cry and plead
But hell runs faster when it feeds
[Bridge]
Lanterns flicker in the valley low
Footsteps echo on the gravel road
Shadows stretch across the cold, wet ground
A voice in the dark says, "You're found."
She spit in his face, said, "You knew the cost."
"A vow's not a game, and you knew you lost."
"You gave her your lips, but your ring was mine."
"So I gave you a grave where the river winds."
[Chorus]
Blood was spilled, and the ground still reeks
Hands ain't clean, but the river speaks
He went down screaming her name
Now the wind only howls with blame
Buried deep where no one knows
But dead men whisper through the crows
Run, you bitch, cry and plead
But hell runs faster when it feeds
