Dark Country Bells - Roman Graves | Gritty Outlaw Country (Official Audio)

Описание: The storm is rolling in, and the bells aren't ringing for prayer. "Dark Country Bells" is a raw look at the cost of the bottle, the silence of a house once full of life, and the reckoning that eventually finds us all.

"Dark Country Bells" blends heavy atmospheric grit with the cold reality of loss. From the first verse's "habit" to the final "reckoning," this track is for those who know the weight of a storm you can’t outrun.

Lyrics:
There’s a storm rolling in from the west tonight
Sky split open by a crooked light
River running dark, town holding its breath
Something riding in that smells like death

Hear those bells in the storm, they ain’t ringing for prayer
They’re counting down the souls still standing out there
Lightning writes every sin across the land
When the thunder says your name… you understand

Yeah, the bells don’t lie and the storm don’t warn
Somebody’s coming with the judgment sworn

I started pouring just to quiet my head
One more night to forget what I said
One more round, I’d fix it tomorrow
Chased the burn just to drown the sorrow

Every promise got lost in the haze
Every sunrise looked the same for days
I kept telling myself I was fine
While the bottle kept stealing my time

Hear those bells in the storm, they ain’t ringing for prayer
They’re counting down the souls still standing out there
Lightning writes every sin across the land
When the thunder says your name… you understand

Yeah, the bells don’t lie and the storm don’t warn
Somebody’s coming with the judgment sworn

She stopped calling, I stopped picking up
Love ran dry at the bottom of a cup
Friends quit knocking, the door stayed shut
Truth hits hard when the noise cuts off

Pictures fading on a dusty wall
Empty rooms where there once was a call
I didn’t lose it all in one night
I let it slip, one drink at a time

Hear those bells in the storm, they ain’t ringing for prayer
They’re counting down the souls still standing out there
Lightning writes every sin across the land
When the thunder says your name… you understand

Yeah, the bells don’t lie and the storm don’t warn
Somebody’s coming with the judgment sworn

Now the storm’s rolling in and I know why
Every excuse was another lie
All the years that I tried to outrun
Standing here like the damage is done

Bottle’s empty and the silence stays
Can’t outdrink what you can’t erase
And the man in the glass tonight
Looks like someone ready to fight

Hear those bells in the storm, they ain’t ringing for prayer
They’re counting down the souls still standing out there
Lightning writes every sin across the land
When the thunder says your name… you understand

Yeah, the bells don’t lie and the storm don’t warn
Somebody’s coming with the judgment sworn

Hear those bells… hear those bells…
They ain’t ringing for prayer tonight
