Out on the corner with cast iron blood

Ten thousand or more with hearts on their own

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

Well, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life laying here is the life I've been told

Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life out here is the life I've been sold

They say there's a path soon where all stand to judge

The Devil's waitin' with Christ like a son

When the look comes your way, best say was I

For the reasons you hold, give reasons to die

The calling's impatient when calls never won

But the last one to say it may last through the flood

Well, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life in here is the life I've been sold

Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life out here is the life I've been told

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

I'm born and weary but life's just begun

And I've run from the reasons and roamed to the gun

They say I'm the killer and thy will be done

And the doors won't be open when I finally become

And I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life out here is the life I've been sold

Yeah, I've seen the battle and I've seen the war

And the life in here is the life I've been told

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

We're falling fast but we've no cares

We know our Lord's gonna meet us there

We pray our Lord's gonna meet us there

We know our Lord's gonna meet us there

Falling fast but we've no cares

We know our Lord's gonna meet us there

We pray our Lord's gonna meet us there
