Redemption will play her hand and I'll play mine    but she'll raise me and raise me till she leaves me blind    that cell door is cold when it slides on by    like the coal train stealing the sun from the sky       chorus:    They say one who hates what he don't understand    is missing the soul of a God fearing man    well that's the way it is    that's the way it is    down here in the killing land    down here in the killing land       Time comes when a man just can't take no more    gotta lay it on the table and keep two feet on the floor    yet when they take you down that hall they say your legs give way    and you finally hit your knees and they drag you while you pray       (chorus)       break:    I hope you find some peace    and you have no doubt    I'm gonna run through my veins    and drain this poison out       Oh the Lord could turn His head it wouldn't be no surprise    considering what I've done I was built to despise    but I'm told He'll be with me when they strap me down    and that's the kind of man I want to die around       (chorus)
