Oh sinners, have you washed in the blood
Oh sinners, have you washed in the blood
Oh, temptation will lead you
Lead you astray
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
Today's the day
Oh sinners, have you slaughtered the lamb
Oh sinners, have you slaughtered the lamb
It's eternal damnation, lest you wash in the blood
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
The time has come
This prison's on fire, and I lit the match
This prison's on fire, and I lit the match
'Cause we all want our freedom, not just to break stone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
Send them home
I'll be a sinner, all of my days
I'll be a sinner, all of my days
I ain't waitin' for Jesus, he's left us alone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
The seed's been sown
You stick with me sir, you might learn to survive
Keep that gun loaded, you'll be my eyes
'Cause these devils among us, are out for our souls
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
We ain't fightin' alone
Get your gun, get your knife, lace your boots,
We ain't fightin' alone

Papa went down to the pasture
Papa ain't coming back
Brother went down to the pasture
Devil on his back
Run, Papa, run
Run, Papa, run
Run, Papa, won't you run
Run, Papa, run
Run, Papa, run
Run, Papa, won't you run
Brother went down to the courthouse
Brother ain't coming back
I went down to the courthouse
Shotgun and an ax
Room full of bodies
Flies on the wall
Room full of bodies
I went down to the churchyard
To dig myself a grave
I went down to the churchyard
Dig myself a grave
Shadows come, shadows come
Come to take me away
Shadow take the dark away

Slow we go and slow we rise
Hold the course, the stormy isle
Dark aboad, batter my sails
Waves are strong, clouds roll in
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
The sky is red, I see the face
Of the one who'll take my place
I say a prayer, and close my eyes
My aim is true, the bullets flies
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, load your gun
Steady on, end will come
The seeds we sow, the food we reap
Tide of death is rising
Ain't no grave can hold me down
One foot in hell, one sacred ground
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on
Steady on, end will come
Steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on, end will come
Oh, steady on
End will come
The tale is told, my fate is writ
And I weep, it starts again

Rise up dead man
Let the gunshots ring
Rise up dead man
Let the gunshots ring
Shadows calling
Let the gunshots ring
Fought for devil
Let the gunshots ring
Black trains coming
Let the gunshots ring
Rise up dead man
Let the gunshots ring
Shadows calling
Let the gunshots ring
Fought for devil
Let the gunshots ring
Black trains coming
Let the gunshots ring
Hills they halven
Let the gunshots ring
That's among us
Let the gunshots ring
Point, it shatters
Let the gunshots ring
Rise up dead man
Let the gunshots ring
Let the gunshots ring
Let the gunshots ring

You walked in and caught my eye
I saw your looks, I lost my mind
You swung the axe, and I was felled
You make me burn, but I'll make it hell
The altar's lit, I'm on my knees
You make my pray, I'll make you plead
Now play the record in reverse
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
And when you come up from behind
I feel your breath, you can't feel mine
You raise a hand, I say the words
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
Oh, broken man, play me a tune
I'll sing along, I'll sing for you
You wrote this song, but I'll write the verse
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
You may be poison (you may be poison)
You may be poison (you may be poison)
You may be poison, but I'm a curse
