Dead Reckoning
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Old man, ain’t no place for you here
'Cause I know you’re already dead and gone
Old man, take your deceivin’ and fear
And tell that liar to leave me alone
Old man, you were hammered to the cross
And the water has carried you down
Old man, now all your power is lost
And you can no longer drag me around
Old man, I have found a better way
And he is stronger than all your lies
Old man, you can’t stand the light of day
And he is shinin’ upon your eyes, old man
Old man, now my eyes can see
And I have passed from the night to the day
Old man, now you’ve got nothing in me
And I'm not going back to your ways
Old man, ain’t no place for you here
'Cause I know you’re already dead and gone
Old man, take your deceivin’ and fear
And tell that liar to leave me alone
'Cause you died on the night
When he called me to the light
And his blood washed away
Every stain
So, I'm doin’ what he said
Every time you raise your head
I'm sending you away from me in his name
Old man, go away
