I am a man of cloth, but not without my sin
I heard the Devil's knock, I always let him in
Temptation is my left hand, salvation is my right
I wander through the darkness
But I always bring the light
I bring the light
I bring the light
♪
Though I preach the Word, I was babtized in a well
I could save your wretched souls or send the straight to Hell
A dirt road is my path
My collar's stained with blood
I'm chasing after locusts
And I'm waiting for the flood
For the flood
For the flood
♪
I wear the cloth, but my heart's as black as coal
A scarecrow on the cross, I am preaching to the crows
Humbled by the Lord, I'm a man without a soul
Redemption has its price
And my cloth is full of holes
It's full of holes
It's full of holes
♪
I've come to testify, a war's been waged within
And if I was a betting man, I'd bet that Devil wins
I've wrestled with my conscious
I've wrestled with my soul
And now I fight the Devil
And that Devil's got control
He's got control
He's got control

And my cloth is full of holes
It's full of holes
It's full of holes
♪
My soul is burning though it's cold and in the grave
I guess the Lord decided that I wasn't worth the save
I travel in the shadows, I walk amongst the dead
An outlaw is upon me
And my gospel has been read
It has been read
It has been read
