write dark delta blues lyrics about a young man beginning to experience the early stages of a demonic possession. Things like only hearing whip-poor-wills on his left. Beginning to hear voices on the wind. Seeing shadows moving in shadows. a veil of darkness beginning to envelope him.

Let’s take a dark walk down a haunted dirt road where a young man’s soul starts to slip away:
Verse 1
I hear whip-poor-wills just off to my side,
Left ear whispers, where the shadows hide.
The wind starts hummin’ in a voice I don’t know,
Low and mournful, like a death-row moan.
Chorus
Shadows crawlin’ in, takin’ hold of me,
A veil of black where my eyes should see.
A whisperin’ wind, a call to sin,
I feel the darkness crawlin’ in.
Verse 2
The moon won’t rise, and the stars all fade,
The air grows heavy in the devil’s shade.
I see shadows movin’ where shadows stay still,
They twist and they curl, bendin’ to their will.
Chorus
Shadows crawlin’ in, takin’ hold of me,
A veil of black where my eyes should see.
A whisperin’ wind, a call to sin,
I feel the darkness crawlin’ in.
Bridge
My own voice calls from the blackest tree,
Sayin’, "Boy, you’re mine, there’s no breakin’ free."
I try to run, but the ground won’t let go,
My feet sink deep where no roots should grow.
Verse 3
The night wraps tight like a shroud on my skin,
The cold hand of hell creeps under my grin.
The whip-poor-will cries, but only for me,
A cursed tune for the damned to see.
Outro
I hear the voices, they’re callin’ my name,
The darkness laughs, and I feel the flame.
So if you feel the shadows start pullin’ you in,
Pray hard, boy, before it begins.
