I walked this road with fire in my hands
Every sin I’ve sown now stains this land
Ain’t no preacher callin’ my name
Ain’t no savior to take my blame
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
I’ve run too long, too far to save
Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
I hear the wind, it speaks in tongues
It tells me time has come undone
A shadow waits where the gallows stand
With a rope in his hands and blood on the sand
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
I’ve run too long, too far to save
Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
The dust will settle, the sky burns red
I’ll lay my soul where the lost men tread
If heaven waits, it don’t wait for me
Just the howlin’ wind and an empty dream
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
I’ve run too long, too far to save
Let the rain fall down, wash my sins away
Oh Lord, have mercy on my grave
