[Intro]
“Through black water… he moves unseen…”
“Carolina bleeds… the crown falls to its knees…”

[Verse 1]
Born in smoke, baptized in flame,
They hunt a ghost without a name.
Through Southern swamps where the willows weep,
He rides through shadows, cold and deep.
The redcoats march with fire and steel,
But phantoms strike what tyrants feel.
No throne, no crown, no empire’s chain—
Can hold the Fox who breaks their reign.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Strike… and fade… into the night.
Gone… before… the morning light.

[Chorus 1]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t hunt or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) When empires burn, he’ll rise!

[Verse 2]
Columns break beneath the moon,
Ambush strikes, then gone too soon.
Through the cypress, past the grave,
Every soldier that they gave—
Lost to water, lost to night,
Guerrilla fire, then out of sight.
The crown sends armies, sends its best,
But swamps consume what they detest.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Strike… and fade… like morning mist.
Gone… as if… he don’t exist.

[Chorus 2]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t catch or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) When empires burn, he’ll rise!

[Bridge]
You can’t catch what you can’t see…
You can’t kill what won’t bleed…
Your empire crumbles stone by stone,
The Fox still hunts — you die alone!

[Breakdown]
No crown! (No crown!)
No chain! (No chain!)
Blood and rain!
Through the fog! Through the grave!
None return — none are saved!

[Final Chorus]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t hunt or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
Swamp Fox! Still rides in the stories we tell,
Swamp Fox! His legend burns where empires fell!
The ages fade, but still his name remains—
A patriot spirit that breaks all chains!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) Through Carolina skies!

[Outro]
Through black water… forever unseen…
The Swamp Fox rides… where freedom dreams…
