Got my finger on the trigger

But I don't know who to trust

I look into your eyes

There's just devils and dust

We're a long, long way from home Bob

Home's a long, long way from us

Feel the dirty winds blowin'

Devils and dust

I got God on my side

I'm just trying to survive

But if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear is a powerful thing

It can turn your heart black you can trust

It'll take your God-filled soul

Fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night

In a field of blood and stone

Blood began to dry

And a smell began to rise

Well I dreamed of you last night Mom

In a field of mud and bone

And your blood began to dry

The smell began to rise

Got God on our side

We're just trying to survive

But if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear is a powerful thing

It'll turn your heart black you can trust

It'll take your God-filled soul

Fill it with devils and dust

It'll take your God-filled soul

Fill it with devils and dust

Now every woman and every man

They wanna take your right to stand

Find the love with God wills

The faith that He commands

I've got my finger on the trigger

Tonight faith just ain't enough

And I look inside my heart

There's just devils and dust

But I've got God on my side

And I'm just trying to survive

But if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear is a dangerous thing

It'll turn your heart black you can trust

It'll take your God-filled soul

Fill it with devils and dust

It'll take your God-filled soul

Fill it with devils and dust
