Lyrics of American Spiritual by Dirty Sweet

Dark was the night and cold was the ground
I rose deep from my sleep
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
The Devil is comin′ for me
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
Straining for my eyes to see
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
Gasping with my lungs to breathe
Sing the song they gave you
Sing it til you're free
Dark was the night and froze was the ground
Crunchin′ underneath my feet
Freedom in my sights, can't never turn around
For fear what I may meet
Meet the one who made you
Or meet eternity
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
Trouble falling down like hail
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
A hellhound's on my trail
Who is left to save you?
Who will set you free?
Fork′s in the road with the spoon and the knife
Not a plate in sight for me
Winds are a risin′, the crow is a flyin'
Leaves tremblin′ on the trees
Shed the name they gave you
Shed it to be free
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
Straining for my eyes to see
Dark was the night and cold was the ground
The day that I broke free
