| Lord above, I just killed a man, let somebody take the blame
|
| Lord above, I’m kneeling down, I’m prayin' take away this pain all up in here
|
| I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in my head
|
| I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s to do before
|
| the day I’m dead
|
| He came for me, just like I knew he would, but this time I was ready and I
|
| killed him good
|
| But he weren’t alone, there was one more left, he took my weapon from me,
|
| put it to the test
|
| That’s when this angel appeared, out of the door with The Devil in his eyes,
|
| but God in his heart
|
| He slayed him down, saved me from a sudden death, but I’ve still done wrong
|
| So now I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in
|
| my head
|
| I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s to do before
|
| the day I’m dead
|
| So there we are, an angel and a man, both just standing there, blood on our
|
| hands
|
| «What we gon' do now?"is what I thought, but before I could say it,
|
| the angel talked
|
| He said «I'm in here for life anyway, you’re only in here for 5,
|
| I’ll take the blame»
|
| He said «Go right now, don’t feel ashamed"but oh Lord I do, that’s why I’m
|
| prayin'
|
| I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, atone me from these sins weighing down
|
| on my soul
|
| I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, you got some healing to do,
|
| inside I’m feeling low
|
| So now I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, take away this guilt all up in
|
| my head
|
| I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, we got some dealin’s to do before
|
| the day I’m dead
|
| I’m prayin', oh Lord I’m prayin' to you, atone me from these sins weighing down
|
| on my soul
|
| I’m pleadin', oh Lord I’m pleadin' with you, you got some healing to do,
|
| inside I’m feeling low |
