Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Born face-first in a barrel of ash
Mama screamed, daddy made a moonshine splash
I got tetanus dreams and a rusted soul
Lived off rats and a preacher’s toll

Got a dog with three legs, name’s Collapse
He bites at ghosts and barks in gaps
I sleep in a shed made of busted signs
Where the nails spell truth and the woodline whines

[Chorus]
We stomp through the fallout, barefoot and mean
Blood in the creek turned slick and green
Ain’t no angels in this holler no more
Just bones in a bag and a two-by-four

Dance, dance, with the poisoned kin
Jug of fire and a violins' sin
If the world’s on fire, we’ll fan that flame
Chernobyl stomp, and we take no name

[Verse 2]
Uncle’s in the basement, chewin' coal
Swears he hears God through a bullet hole
Auntie's got bees livin' in her jaw
Says the honey’s pure, but the stingers draw

I got baptised in a storm drain flood
Came out grinnin’ with a taste for blood
Preacher’s preachin’ from a deer skull throne
Sermon’s in tongues and a dial tone moan


---

[Bridge]
We don’t pray, we hex
We don’t love, we vex
Buried grandma with a jigsaw blade
Now her ghost haunts the Medicaid


---

[Chorus]
We stomp through the fallout, barefoot and mean
Blood in the creek turned slick and green
Ain’t no angels in this holler no more
Just bones in a bag and a two-by-four

Dance, dance, with the poisoned kin
Jug of fire and a violins' sin
If the world’s on fire, we’ll fan that flame
Chernobyl stomp, and we take no name


---

[Outro]
So light that match, let the kudzu burn
Spin in the dirt till the void return
If death’s a dance, then we know the beat
Hellbilly born, and we die on our feet
