Redemption will play her hand and I'll play mine nbut she'll raise me and raise me till she leaves me blind nthat cell door is cold when it slides on by nlike the coal train stealing the sun from the sky nnchorus: n They say one who hates what he don't understand n is missing the soul of a God fearing man n well that's the way it is n that's the way it is n down here in the killing land n down here in the killing land nnTime comes when a man just can't take no more ngotta lay it on the table and keep two feet on the floor nyet when they take you down that hall they say your legs give way nand you finally hit your knees and they drag you while you pray nn(chorus) nnbreak: n I hope you find some peace n and you have no doubt n I'm gonna run through my veins n and drain this poison out nnOh the Lord could turn His head it wouldn't be no surprise nconsidering what I've done I was built to despise nbut I'm told He'll be with me when they strap me down nand that's the kind of man I want to die around nn(chorus)
