today just might be the end of an era hope the next one will be blessed with some days that are much fairer it s a different song for the ones that are allowed different tone for the ones that are deceased and this road leads to the ruins of the city i was born where god don t exist and all hope is forlorn well i got so very blind here to see but i don t mind as long as i feel free and you may call me a thief and a liar my redemption is cast in the depths of the fire i guess i ve been burned over a thousand times before and i keep burning up a thousand times more i got devil on my right side got devil on my left and god himself protect me from the leeches on my neck for the sins are my own i m bound to be alone and like most i m a sinner to the bone and i waited for an absolution but it never came got way too many sins within the blood inside my veins evergreen grass wasn t green enough for me but i don t mind as long as i feel free and you may call me a thief and a liar my redemption is cast in the depths of the fire i guess i ve been burned over a thousand times before and i keep burning up a thousand times more well i guess i m just a lucky man my soul will never drown searching from the endless sea until the glory s found now i m sinking with stones around my neck and down here you only get what you can get and you may call me a thief and a liar my redemption is cast in the depths of the fire i guess i ve been burned over a thousand times before and i keep burning up a thousand times more and i waited for an absolution but it never came got way too many sins within the blood inside my veins evergreen grass wasn t green enough for me but i don t mind no i don t mind no i don t mind as long as i feel free
