*[Verse 1]** When the sunrise bleeds like rust across the pines, And the devil's whisper hums on telephone lines, I’m caught in the current where the bitter river flows, But God hits harder than my highs and my lows. **[Chorus]** Hallelujah, feel it rattling your soul? On this broken path where the gravel takes its toll. When the shadow grins and the doubt starts to grow, God’s the fire when the knockout punch is thrown. **[Verse 2]** The bedrock cracks when the thunder has its say, Old Scratch plants a seed to lead your heart astray. Stars burn out where the chilling whirlwind blows, But God’s the lightning that the darkness always knows. **[Bridge]** Stare that devil down if he’s standing in your way, Ride the lightning ‘til it drags your sins away. Every lying cloud is a trick to hide the cost, But God’s truth cuts deeper than the souls the devil lost. **[Chorus]** Hallelujah, feel it rattling your soul? On this razor’s edge where I’m losing all control. When the shadow grins and the doubt starts to grow, God’s the fire when the knockout punch is thrown. **[Verse 3]** When the dawn ignites like a shot across the fields, And the serpent’s promise is the only truth that feels, The ground may shatter, but I’ll never kneel his way, God’s the diamond in the dark that lights my day. **[Bridge]** Break the mountain if it’s blocking out the sky, Wrestle that damn river ‘til the venom runs dry. Every hollow lie is a chain the devil shows, But God’s the anthem that the fallen angel knows. **[Chorus]** Hallelujah, feel it rattling your soul? On this broken path where the gravel takes its toll. When the shadow grins and the doubt starts to grow, God’s the fire when the knockout punch is thrown. **[Outro]** So take the spit and the gravel’s raw demand, With a splintered soul slipping through your hand. Sing the song that drowns out the serpent’s boast, God’s the victor over devils and their ghosts.
