Noose

While the leaves tried to hide the truth and the branches gripped your noose 
You held on to the ghost that you once knew 

You begged the devil to cut 
you free
But he used and abused you 
Now you got everything to lose
So you sang a prayer or two 
Praying for mercy for a sinner like you 

You said your final goodbyes and you promised you left that life behind 
But God knows every truth and he sees it in your eyes 

So take back all your lies and speak the book of life 
And watch how God changes your soul
And the turn your sins from red to white 

I know that times get rough 
But you must understand
That this world is not your home
So take up your sword and go
And march on to the promise land
