Tags:country,Brooding alt-country gospel,male vocals,low-tuned acoustic and twangy baritone guitar over a slow,stomping kick and floor tom. Verse 1 rides a sparse,haunted groove; distorted slide and church organ swell into a big,chant-like chorus with stacked harmonies. Subtle choir pads bloom in the second chorus,with a gritty tremolo guitar line weaving through. Vocal stays raw and close,with a gravelly edge and occasional echo to feel like a sermon in an abandoned chapel.
[Verse 1] Dust on the Bible Gun in the glovebox Cross in the rearview Shaking in the dark Whiskey on my breath Name on my record Sin like a shadow Tattooed on my heart [Chorus] Jesus is King in the dark of my night Sitting on a throne made of rust and of light Every busted halo, every outlawed dream Falls to its knees when He steps on the scene Jesus is King over graveyard and bar Over backroad blood and these cigarette scars He’s calling my name through the smoke and the sin Jesus is King Let the darkness give in [Verse 2] Knuckles all busted From hitting that mirror Devil in the doorway Saying “you’re mine, son” Then a hymn on the radio Cut through the fever Soft as a whisper Loud as a loaded gun [Chorus] Jesus is King in the dark of my night Sitting on a throne made of rust and of light Every busted halo, every outlawed dream Falls to its knees when He steps on the scene Jesus is King over graveyard and bar Over backroad blood and these cigarette scars He’s calling my name through the smoke and the sin Jesus is King Let the darkness give in [Bridge] I drove to the river Boots full of trouble Moon hanging low Like an old scarred coin Dropped my shame In the black cold water “Heaven or hell?” He said, “Boy, choose one” (oh) [Chorus] Jesus is King in the dark of my night Sitting on a throne made of rust and of light Every busted halo, every outlawed dream Falls to its knees when He steps on the scene Jesus is King over graveyard and bar Over backroad blood and these cigarette scars He’s breaking these chains I kept hiding within Jesus is King Let the darkness give in
