There's blood running in the streets
And an empty sky above
And now we're praying for the rain
To cleanse our blackened souls
Well, sister dear
Can it cleanse our blackened souls?
Wanna see the lightning strike
Wanna hear the thunder roll
We were halfway to heaven
But I think we lost the track
And now we're halfway to hell
And I can't see a way back
There's liquor pumping through our veins
And a body in the trunk
And now we're praying to be saved
But God don't give a fuck
Well, sister dear
I guess we're out of luck
Gonna see the lightning strike
These sinners gotta burn
We were halfway to heaven
But I think we lost the track
And now we're halfway to hell
And I can't see a way back
