Out on the corner with cast iron blood
10,000 or more with hearts on their own
They say I might die and I maybe 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 I have here is the life I´ve been sold

They say there´s a path soon where I´ll stand to judge
But the devil´s a waiting 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 laying here is the life I´ve been sold
Yeah, I´ve seen the battle and I´ve seen the war
And the life I have here is the life I´ve been told

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 laying here is the life I´ve been told

We´re fallin´ 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

We´re fallin´ fast but we´ve no care
We know our Lord´s gonna meet us there
We pray our Lord´s gonna meet us there
