I made friends with the devil on my shoulder
I can't find no forgiveness for my wrongs
There's a ghost inside of me that's growin' stronger
No way home when you've been lost this long
Ain't no rest for the wicked
Ain't no grace for the sinner
God knows I tried
There's a heathen on the throne
Always fire when there's smoke
The preacher man lied
Callin' in the darkness gather round sinners
Won't find justice, can't be delivered
I'm lost in a lawless land
Rings of fire closin' in too fast
Can't change the past
Wash me clean in the river turn red
Lost in a lawless land
Sinkin' down fast to the desert sand
All dressed in black
Wash me clean in the river turn red
Save my soul from the spirit in the shadows
Can't break free from the chains of all I've done
All this blood on my hands becomes an echo
Like a dead man walking faster than I run
