I've got the love,
I've got the fire running through my soul
And I've been walking through the thunder just to let you know
And it was cold, and everything came crashing down
Like an angry wave falling with an awful sound
And it was hungry, calling for flesh and bone
I tried reaching for the surface, but I just felt stone
And I know the only fault here is my own
They'll put me six feet down,
They'll whisper all across town
Wish a condemnation so profound
Like they've been looking for a soul to fill the vacant ground
I'll take this blood, I'll take this blood spilled from my veins
And I'll wash clean the stone where they wrote my name
And I'll be cold, I'll keep the names that have done me wrong
As I'm working for redemption from a makeshift home
And I'll be hungry, calling for flesh and bone
I've been searching for a purpose all alone
And you know the road I took was my own
I watched the green leaves turn brown
As I clawed at the cold hard ground
With a contemplation so profound
Like I was the only living soul around
I've got the love,
I've got the fire runnin through my soul
And I've been walkin through the thunder just to let you know
