Black Water Oath by Tony Gibbs

River's gone quiet like it’s holdin’ its breath,
No birds tonight, just the taste of death.
Moon hanging low like it knows my name,
I didn’t come here clean, I won’t leave the same.

Boots sink down where the cold mud curls,
Saw my face break into ripples and swirls.
You don’t say much when the truth gets near,
You just listen hard to what the water hears

Daddy said, “Son, when the deal gets sealed,
A man best knows what he’s yieldin’”

I swore a black water oath,
By a bent knee and a blood-red moon,
Promised more than a man should boast,
Now the river says it’s comin’ soon.
Black water don’t forgive,
Black water don’t forget,
Once you give what it asks to live,
It collects its debt.

Hands still shake from a knife I held,
Not sayin’ names, but the night sure smelled.
Like rust and rain and a bad last choice,
When the dark leaned in and stole my voice.

Cypress creak like an old court judge,
Every step feelin’ like blood and sludge.
You don’t outrun what you let inside,
You just pick which truth you’re gonna hide.

Ain’t no prayer for a promise broke,
Only silence and the river’s joke.

I swore a black water oath,
By a bent knee and a blood-red moon.
Promised more than a man should boast,
Now the river says it’s comin’ soon.
Black water don’t forgive,
Black water don’t forget,
Once you give what it asks to live,
It collects its debt.

Ain’t sayin’ I was right…
Just sayin’ I was there...
And the water remembers everything.

Black water oath…
Ain’t no quittin’ now.
Black water oath…
Hear it knockin’ anyhow.

Sun won’t rise on borrowed grace,
River closes in… to erase my trace.
