Red as His Sins Lyrics

I went down to the river

And I fed some alligators

But it wasn't a mouse, a possum or a fish

Cause I took a shotgun to my best friend's head

And I stood by the shore as the water ran red

Hesitation, and anger

The guilt was all gone

I fed those alligators and I fed them for fun

Cause I killed my best friend, put a shotgun to his head

And I stood by the shore as the water ran red

(Oh) Red as his sins

(Oh) I watched the water run red

(Oh) Red as his sins

Oh

I went down to the river

The very next day

To see my new friends, and to my dismay

They had all been shot, just like my best friend

So I dragged them out the river and threw them in my truck(bed)

They were heavy, and bloody

I'm soaked to the bone

I floored the gas pedal and I took them all home

Cause I killed my best friend, put a shotgun to his head

And I stood by the shore as the water ran red

(Oh) Red as his sins

(Oh) I watched the water run red

(Oh) Red as his sins

Oh

I pulled up in the driveway with a cloud of dust behind

I left my tracks uncovered but I didn't pay no mind

Anticipation, I'm sweating

The guilt flooded in

I'm focused on my hands cause they're now covered in sin

The wife and kids were gone so I did it all alone

Eleven alligators in the basement of my home

Just as I had finished there's a knock at my front door

Lights red and blue reflecting on the floor(boards)

Cause I killed my best friend, put a shotgun to his head

And I stood by the shore as the water ran red

(Oh) Red as his sins

(Oh) I watched the water run red

(Oh) Red as his sins

Oh

(Oh) Red as his sins

(Oh) I watched the water run red

(Oh) Red as his sins

Oh

I sat across from detectives

Already lost my mind

Flashbacks to my actions and it made me wanna cry

I look to the left corner

And shrouded in the dark

My best friend's smiling and he's void of all remorse

It was there and then I snapped

A siren of a scream

I led them to my basement and explained what was in front of me

Eleven alligators who ate my best friend

I even showed the gun I used to shoot him in the head

Yes I killed my best friend, put a shotgun to his head

And I stood by the shore as the water ran red
