Today is going to be a good day

I've already come this far

left the dead far behind

they're never going to catch up to me

I'm free to wander the open road

these hands used to be covered in blood

but I washed them clean

there's no evidence of violence

except the memories in my mind

there the dead haunt me

their faces never fade

forever frozen in that moment of death

when all life slips away

leaving an empty husk

the rain is starting to fall

thunder rolls and lightning crashes

falling water turns to flood

it could wash me away

I wish the rain could wash away my evils

cleanse me, purify me

my body is stained black

and only God can save me

I'm just a soldier

I feel like all I know is the gun

I hold it like a lover

and wield like a sword

hell is waiting for me

I've killed the innocent

they want revenge

their fingers claw at me in my dreams

I confess every day

and cry over alcohol every night

maybe I'm just born to hold a gun

and that's as good as I'm going to get

I just couldn't be a better person

I tried many times, but the suit and tie never fit

I'm a killer, I belong in hell

Packed my suitcase, I'm ready to go

I'm at the crossroad, I'm ready to go

I ain't waiting for an angel

I'm waiting for the devil

I hear the sound of hellhounds

growling in the distance

they're getting closer

a figured cloaked in darkness appears

he points to me

(and everything goes black) x12

I went to heaven

they didn't want me

I went to hell

they said welcome home
