## Lyrics
[verse]
There's a house still standing where the cotton used to grow
Old wounds in the floorboards, secrets down below
The bell in the steeple rings but nobody comes
Ghosts of the harvest, beating on the drums

[chorus]
Southern man, look at what you've done
Chains in the shadow, hiding from the sun
Southern man, the truth is on the wall
Time is calling, gonna answer for it all

[verse]
Big house burning slow beneath a heavy sky
Children of the ashes ask the question why
The river still remembers every name it knew
Carries them on forward, carries them to you

[chorus]
Southern man, look at what you've done
Chains in the shadow, hiding from the sun
Southern man, the truth is on the wall
Time is calling, gonna answer for it all

[bridge]
I hear the whip crack echo down the years
I see the reckoning coming, drying up the tears
No more hiding in the tall grass now
Judgment's coming, gonna show you how

[chorus]
Southern man, look at what you've done
Chains in the shadow, hiding from the sun
Southern man, the truth is on the wall
Time is calling, gonna answer for it all
