Good Lord, my faith is fading,
It seems all Hell has come a-knocking at my door,
I'm gonna sleep with one eye open,
It seems clear, you don't come around here no more.
Lord, I've played the hand you gave me,
Lord, I played until my gambling days were done,
My enemies are gonna feel my heartache,
Blazing down the barrel of my gun.
Nails in the Churches,
Nails in the dust,
Nails in the coffins,
In peace we may rust,
One by one,
One by one,
Burning down the barrel of my gun.
Now my heart is scarred and twisted,
Like the roses on the graves,
Buried, like each sorry fool,
Standing in my way,
I'm held in chains of darkness,
There's only ashes in my bowl,
I'll save a bullet for the devil,
When he comes to take my soul
Nails in the Churches,
Nails in the dust,
Nails in the coffins,
In peace we may rust,
One by one,
One by one,
Burning down the barrel of my gun
Nails in the Churches,
Nails in the dust,
Nails in the coffins,
In peace we may rust,
One by one,
One by one,
Burning down the barrel of my gun
