Judgment Chain by The Rebel Hearts is a powerful and evocative fusion of Country, Soul, and Bluegrass wrapped in a storytelling framework. The song delivers a poignant message about divine retribution and the fate of the wicked, with a raw, anti-government, anti-establishment edge.
verse 1:
In the town where shadows fall, and whispers lay
The wicked roam, feeling mighty and tall each day
Your deeds are dark, and your heart is stained
This small town knows, you're marked with the sinner's name
chorus:
God punishes the wicked, oh yes He does
And you're the worst, the worst of them all, there's no pause
Wrath like thunder, justice will rain
Each vile action binds you in the judgment chain
verse 2:
You think you're safe, behind closed doors you hide
But every lie and crime is seen wide and side by side
You've taken trust and crushed it in your fist
Woven deceit like lace, your hatred can't be missed
chorus:
God punishes the wicked, oh yes He does
And you're the worst, the worst of them all, there's no pause
Wrath like thunder, justice will rain
Each vile action binds you in the judgment chain
bridge:
The fields you burned, the hearts you've scarred,
The innocent souls left on ever-watching yard
You can't outrun, you can't outdry
His gaze pierces through, into the night sky
chorus:
God punishes the wicked, oh yes He does
And you're the worst, the worst of them all, there's no pause
Wrath like thunder, justice will rain
Each vile action binds you in the judgment chain
outro:
Your time is marked, your fate is clear
The judgment is upon you, oh so near
In the end, the righteous shall prevail
While the wicked, bound forever to their frail tail

God punishes the wicked, and your the worst of them all
