[Intro – Spoken]
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen…
Redemption is cheap tonight.
No receipts. No refunds.
[Verse 1]
A jealous man with shaking hands
Knife goes in, no second chance
No disguise, no holy word
Just a scream no one has heard
Down the street, a marching line
Silver crosses, soaked in time
Drums of war, a righteous cause
Blood approved by higher laws
[Pre-Chorus]
Same cold steel, same last breath
Different stories justify death
[Chorus]
Saints and sinners, step inside
Redemption’s just a change of sides
Say your prayers, take your bow
Blood looks holy somehow
Saints and sinners, ring the bell
Heaven’s full, business is well
Clean on paper, dead stay dead
No crown fits a guilty head
[Verse 2]
Light the fire, cleanse the town
Faith looks good when it burns them down
Smoke goes up, the crowd amens
Ash falls soft on innocent men
Behind the screen, whisper low
Say the words, let conscience go
Hands washed clean, soul reset
Easy grace, no regret
[Pre-Chorus]
If confession kills the blame
Why do the graves all look the same?
[Chorus]
Saints and sinners, dress in white
One called wrong, one “chosen right”
Same damn act, different name
Grace gets rich, guilt stays tame
Saints and sinners, raise your hand
Who gets saved, who gets damned?
Kneel for mercy, stand for show
Truth’s the first thing buried low
[Bridge – Spoken / Half-Time]
Confession booth’s open, kids…
Absolution while supplies last.
Crusades, fires, holy wars
No one kills like the ones so sure
If God forgives before they’re cold
Who speaks for the ones below?
[Final Chorus]
Saints and sinners, one damn sin
Forgiven doesn’t mean you win
Bow your head, take the prize
The dead don’t care about alibis
Saints and sinners, end the lie
God didn’t choose who had to die
Men did — proud, devout, convinced
No crown for the cleansed
[Outro – Spoken]
Redemption is not a crown…
[chuckles]
…but it sure looks good under the lights.
