gotta tip off there's a sabatoer at bay
brutal message hits i gotta wanna play
i need god beside me love to light my way
give me the guts to choose the strength to stay
i know it
i know it well
it could be back before you know
back before you go
gotta let
let this one go
it could be back before you know
back before you go
back to a place that's doin' nobody no good
there's a strength there if i really understood
i need god beside me piled deep in sludge
a deadness so relentless will not budge
i know it
i know it well
it could be back before you know
back before you go
gotta let
let this one go
it could be back before you know
back before you go
i know it
i know it well
it could be back before you know
back before you go
gotta let
let this one go
it could be back before you know
back before you go
i know it
i know it well
it could be back before you know
back before you go
i know it
i know it
i know it
i know it
