Valley’s deep and my breathing’s shallow
25 miles of crooked road left to travel
As I wipe my brow and I lick my cracked lips
25 miles to Calvary Hill
26 stubbed out cigarettes on the window sill
As we fall to our knees and between satin sheets we pray
Vultures overhead of hotel beds
As clocks turn backwards in haste
Effigies to the pleased all surround but not a single one has a face
Sweat and tears they all taste the same when you’re alone in the dark
Everyone marching to Calvary Hill
Licking at bottle necks, chasing down pills
Every town looks the same, moan another man’s name as we pray
I kneel down at her church
Takes my blessing while she lifts her skirts
We all get right with our devils first
Love me, babe, like the end of days
You all know what we deserve
Arch your back and do holy work
Fill that mouth with a bible verse
Love me, babe, like the end of days
Oh, Oh, Oh Hallelujah
If the thrill is gone who keeps running their hands down my spine
At the gates, though the pearl’s lost its shine
Looking for our names in the tome
St. Pete has seen better days, knows we never went to bed alone
All this wailing and gnashing of teeth, god only knows how it ends
Cast the first stone, those here without sin
We’ve been rolling them bones since it all did begin
All these clouds full of fakes, scratch the throne, find a snake as we say
I kneel down at her church
Takes my blessing while she lifts her skirts
We all get right with our devils first
Love me, babe, like the end of days
You all know what we deserve
Arch your back and do holy work
Fill that mouth with a bible verse
Love me, babe, like the end of days
