Heathen Revival Lyrics

Break in the weather man, the fever is rising

Feels like a night where the devil got’ look my way

Preacher man got that look in his eye

Like my soul’s got a heavy, heavy debt to pay

And when they come to claim me

Hand on a gun and a hand on the bible

You’ll see me dressed in my Sunday best

But tonight I’m in need of a heathen revival

Tonight I’m in need of a heathen revival

God damn the preacher’s daughter how she do that thing?

Her daddy don’t know what her momma’s gifts bring

In her arms I’ve felt that brimstone and fire

Sometimes it seems like she got the devil inside her

I just keep on looking while the flames getting higher

Maybe she’s coming to save me

Maybe she’s coming and taking me higher

When she calls my name

Well tomorrow you can question my soul’s survival

But tonight I’m in need of a heathen revival

Sunday morning she’s nowhere to be seen

Somebody comes running, says preacher’s looking for me

He says boy, I thought I’d find you down on your knees

Sir I guess your daughter well, she did it for me

Can’t you tell a man when the water comes and washes him clean?

Now he’s coming to claim me

Now she’s come and she’s taken me higher

Spirits call my name

Every time I need that heathen revival

Sometimes we all need that heathen revival

Look ma’ I need that heathen revival

(Hey hey, heathen revival)

Sometimes we all need that heathen revival
