Tom Flannery - The k**ing Land lyrics

Redemption will play her hand and I'll play mine But she'll raise me and raise me till she leaves me blind That cell door is cold when it slides on by Like the coal train stealing the sun from the sky Chorus: They say one who hates what he don't understand Is missing the soul of a God fearing man Well that's the way it is That's the way it is Down here in the k**ing land Down here in the k**ing land Time comes when a man just can't take no more Gotta lay it on the table and keep two feet on the floor Yet when they take you down that hall they say your legs give way And you finally hit your knees and they drag you while you pray (chorus) Break: I hope you find some peace And you have no doubt I'm gonna run through my veins And drain this poison out Oh the Lord could turn His head it wouldn't be no surprise Considering what I've done I was built to despise But I'm told He'll be with me when they strap me down And that's the kind of man I want to die around (chorus)
