Out on the corner with cast iron blood
Ten thousand or more with hearts on the run
They say I might die and I may be cold
I may have no Jesus I may have no soul
In prison I hear there's time to be good
But the first thing you see is the last thing you should

They say there's a passing where all stand to judge
But the devil's a waitn' with Christ like a son
When the look comes your way you best say was I
For the reasons you hold give reasons to die
The callings' impatient when cause never won
But the last one to say it may last through the flood

I'm born in and weary but life's just begun
And I've run from the reasons and run to the gun
They say I'm the killer and thy will be done
And the doors won't be open when I've finally become

I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
And the life out here is the life I've been sold
Yah I've seen the battle and I've seen the war
And the life in here is the life I've been told

Fallin fast but we've no cares
We know our lord's gonna meet us there
We pray our lords gonna meet us there
We know our lords gonna meet us there
Fallin fast but we've no cares
We know our lords gonna meet us there
We pray our lords gonna meet us there
