Out on the corner with cast iron blood
10,000 or more with hearts on their own
They say I might die and I may be cold
I may have no Jesus, I may have no soul
In prison I hear theres time to be good
But the first thing you see is the last thing you should
Well, Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life in here is the life Ive been told
Yeah, Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life I have here is the life Ive been sold
They say theres a passing where all stand to judge
But the devils a waiting with Christ like a son
When the look comes your way, best say was I
For the reasons you hold, give reasons to die
The callings impatient when the cause never won
But the last one to say it may last through the flood
Well, Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life laying here is the life Ive been sold
Yeah, Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life out here is the life Ive been told
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Im born and weary but lifes just begun
And Ive run from the reasons and roamed to the gun
They say Im the killer and thy will be done
And the doors wont be open when I finally become
And Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life out here is the life Ive been sold
Yeah, Ive seen the battle and Ive seen the war
And the life in here is the life Ive been told
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

We know our Lords gonna meet us there
Fallin fast but weve no cares
We know our Lords gonna meet us there
We pray our Lords gonna meet us there
