William P. Robertson: Music

Shadows Part Slowly

(William P. Robertson/ShadowFox)
Gators eyes rise from the black bayou floor
Whippoorwills call through the sharecropper's door
Cottonmouths crawl through the canebrake below
Cemetery vaults catch the moon's dying glow

Shadows part slowly
After midnight
Shadows part slowly
Ghost on the wind
Shadows part slowly
Haunted by a hoodoo
Shadows part slowly
Hellhound's a comin'

From deep in the swamp comes a wildcat's cry
A zombie has risen with hell in his eye
Foul blood mixes with Voodoo Mon's curse
Shadows part slowly revealing a horse-drawn hearse

Shadows part slowly
After midnight
Shadows part slowly
Ghost on the wind
Shadows part slowly
Haunted by a hoodoo
Shadows part slowly
Hellhound's a comin'
From deep in the swamp
You can hear him howl

Shadows part slowly as the cold thunder booms
Rebels mustered from their moldly tombs
A ghostly major mounts his pale steed
Gallops through cotton fields overgrown with weeds

This song is on the UNTIL DEATH DO IMPART audio book CD available from CDBaby.com
