I met you on the way to heaven

Where/Wear this blood gonna need protection

Boy where you going

Dressed like a martyr

I met you on the way to heaven

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

It's too late to act like you don't know me

Didn't save you then won't save you now

I can't forgive

For those you sinned against

It's too late to act like you don't know me

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

You can break

But you can't borrow

You can love what you

See my seven wrongwards

You [can, can't] pray

But you can't borrow

You can love what you

See my seven wrongwards

I met you on the way to heaven

Where this blood gonna need protection

Boy where you going

Dressed like a martyr

I met you on the way to heaven

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey
