The voices of ten thousand angels
Like water, poured over me
And a spirit much stronger than whiskey
Has brought me down to my knees
There's a fire burning beneath me
And a starry crown overhead
Tested and tried I'm found wanting
And so, the fire burns red
Oh!
Lost on this open road
I found your clues
So I, rode a hundred miles
And I'm comin' for you
Oh, lord save me from the moon's white light
Smoke ahead and the fire's burning red!
I'm a dead man, dead man walking free
The chains can't hold me
The river, it has washed me clean
So now I see
Oh, lord save me from the moon's white light
Smoke ahead and the fire's burning red!
So long, to my old life
I've gone, dancing in the
River like a queen
And the blood has washed me clean
Oh!
