I got my finger on the trigger

But I don't know who to trust

When I look into your eyes

There's just devils and dust

We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie

Home's a long, long way from us

I feel a dirty wind blowing

Devils and dust

I got God on my side

I'm just trying to survive

What if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear's a powerful thing

It can turn your heart black you can trust

It'll take your God filled soul

And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night

In a field of blood and stone

The blood began to dry

The smell began to rise

Well I dreamed of you last night

In a field of mud and bone

Your blood began to dry

The smell began to rise

We've got God on our side

We're just trying to survive

What if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear's 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

Now every woman and every man

They want to take a righteous stand

Find the love that God wills

And the faith that He commands

I've got my finger on the trigger

And tonight faith just ain't enough

When I look inside my heart

There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side

And I'm just trying to survive

What if what you do to survive

Kills the things you love

Fear's a dangerous thing

It can 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
