Lyrics
Black boots walking through a dead-end town
Cross on fire but I won't bow down
Cold wind calling like it knows my name
Heaven shut the door, I'm still the same
Cold hands, no release
Feel the weight underneath
Heaven don't want me -- I've gone too far
Hell's got a seat with my name in the dark
Knocking on a door that won't break through
Every step I take brings me back to you
Oh Lord, do you hear me now?
Or am I lost in the sound?
Mirror shows a man I don't recognize
Truth burns deeper than a thousand lies
Ashes falling where the angels stood
I tried to change, but it did no good
No sleep, no peace
Devil dancing in the beat
Heaven don't want me -- I've gone too far
Hell's got a seat with my name in the dark
Knocking on a door that won't break through
Every step I take brings me back to you
Oh Lord, do you hear me now?
Or am I lost in the sound?
If I fall, let it be
No more chains on me
Heaven don't want me -- I've gone too far
Hell's got a seat with my name in the dark
Knocking on a door that won't break through
Every step I take brings me back to you
Oh Lord, do you hear me now?
Or am I lost in the sound?
