[Verse 1]
Lord, explain what I'm seeing
Now I'm down on my knees
Devil's been in the backwoods
Came to whisper to me
I need to get back, Mother Mary protect me
Into the black, cry your heavenly tears
Is my confession loud enough for you to hear?

[Chorus]
You gotta have faith to deliver from evil
You gotta have faith in the shadow of death
You gotta keep pace, looking over your shoulder
You gotta embrace your final breath
You gotta take up your sinner's burden
To wear it on trial like a crown of thorns
You need to hold tight like a man on a mission
You gotta cut off these devil's horns

[Verse 2]
Lord, allow me repentance
Let me hear what I've done
Seek the devil's acceptance
Show her mercy and run
So where does this end? With a bullet, or silence?
Won't let you pretend that the father can't hear
Can you show me some strength to wash away my fear?
[Chorus]
You gotta have faith to deliver from evil
You gotta have faith in the shadow of death
You gotta keep pace, looking over your shoulder
You gotta embrace your final breath
You gotta take up your sinner's burden
To wear it on trial like a crown of thorns
You need to hold tight like a man on a mission
You gotta cut off these devil's horns

[Bridge]
Here on earth, your own demons dwell
Like miracles, but instead from Hell
Now the enemy shows herself
But Father, where are you?
Through the darkness I've become lost
Searching for this to bear my cross
Now I'm ready to pay the cost
But will you be there too?

[Chorus]
You gotta have faith to deliver from evil
You gotta have faith in the shadow of death
You gotta keep pace, looking over your shoulder
You gotta embrace your final breath
You gotta take up your sinner's burden
To wear it on trial like a crown of thorns
You need to hold tight like a man on a mission
You gotta cut off these devil's horns
