Can'T Walk On The Water

Devil on my shoulder shot the angel down
The black wolf with the bloodshot eyes stole the wild wolves' howl
The furnace in my soul, can't burn enough to save
Call this town to keep on lookin' cold, but darkness falls away

And I can't walk on the water and my kin folk ain't no saints
I was raised in between heaven and hell, hell broke through them gates
And I tried and tried like I lost all mind, clocked to the king's castle at night
The master whistles at the break of day, when darkness falls away, falls away

I can't see the road less travelled under endless tramplin' feet
I saw a man shot dead before my eyes, the bastard said he was in his seat
The snake livin' on my tongue whispered in my ear
He said, "If you wanna get ahead, it's 'kill or be killed' around here"

And I can't walk on the water and my kin folk ain't no saints
I was raised in between heaven and hell, hell broke through them gates
And I tried and tried like I lost all mind, clocked to the king's castle at night
The master whistles at the break of day, when darkness falls away, falls away

You know, I ain't no saint
C'mon
He said, "If you wanna get ahead
It's 'kill or be killed' around here"

And I can't walk on the water and my kin folk ain't no saints
I was raised in between heaven and hell, hell broke through them gates
And I tried and tried like I lost all mind, clocked to the king's castle at night
The master whistles at the break of day when darkness falls away, falls away

The darkness falls away
On my shoulder shot the angels down
