[Intro]
Echoes in the rafters, whispers in the pews
A choir hums low, the devil’s in the fuse
Candles flicker shadows, secrets to abuse
[Verse 1]
Lord have mercy, my ledger’s ink-stained
Dug my own grave, danced in the rain
Halo crooked, tilted, dripping with disdain
The preacher said salvation, but my soul got a chain
Wolves in the chapel, praying in disguise
Guilt like a furnace, burning through my lies
Eyes on the heavens, but the ceiling denies
I’m screaming for redemption, but my echo dies
[Chorus]
Lord have mercy on my soul
Darkness swallows, lost control
I sinned, I sinned, my spirit’s cold
Save me, save me, let me hold
[Verse 2]
Hymns from the streets, psalms in graffiti
Confessions in the alley, sinners all gritty
Cross on my chest, but my heart stays gritty
Walked through the fire, still smelling like pity
Serpent in my ear, whispers that entice
Dagger in my hand, my Judas vice
Holy water drips, doesn’t cleanse my ice
The choir in my head sings a sinner’s reprise
