White Line Darko - Footsteps from Babylon Lyrics

The gate to Eden was held under lock-and-key
I tried Adam but he couldn't help me
Said, "Son, I've been exiled for years"
Choking down soil
Holding back the tears
So I rode down the cement-laden path
Past David's strip-club
And Jeremiah rolling joints in a cast
Arriving at last
Jesus greeted me at the door
His words were

"How do you do?
I hold the book of life, but I don't see you
It seems Old Red wants blood
And he can only take one of us"
So there's

Heaven and hell to bring
Only got one life
And I'm gonna make it sing
Dearly beloved, are you listening?
Following footsteps from Babylon

Lately I've been closing my eyes at night
Never falling asleep
Praying for the morning light
I can't tell which second will be our last
Every prophecy has come to pass
Every chapter and book paints of a picture of the end
Smoking and drinking and stealing and lying
We wait, we wait on

Heaven and hell to bring
Only got one life
And I'm gonna make it sing
Dearly beloved, are you listening? (Listening)
Heaven and hell to bring
Only got one soul
And I don't want to let it go
Dearly beloved, meet me in the morning
Following footsteps from Babylon

The clouds in the sky give way
To a brighter horizon
Holding hands, standing and smiling
I know we've got
To get free
