Thought they had it on me
But the truth it lay upon me
Like the Mississippi River runs deeper on the coast

I don't know what happened
I was acting on my passion
Wearing latest fashions I wandered in the cold


Then it came upon me in a midnight dream
As honey offers gold

As a gambler I can't hide my debts, as a sinner, as a soul
Pardon me if I forget what I've already been told
You can't hold that against me man

I'm on revelation road

Fire and brimstone pave the way

Hold hands together everyday
Nothing left to do but pray and put your head in the sand
Sinners and the preachers at each other's throats

Which one is the bad news man
Which one clatters most


Screaming turns to salt and dust
Volume is not heard
Bible beaters rest your fists

Haters rest your ire
You're both too young to know you're mute
Unconscious to the choir

But I can't hold that against you man
We're on revelation road


Grab your little passbooks
A ticket gets you in
One Hail Mary does the trick forgived of all your sins

And when the show is over
You're where you started from
Collecting all the barbs you threw piled up to be disposed


Judgement comes and never tires
Forgotten is the code

Doing unto others is a farce, a laugh, a joke
Remember when the black veil falls
We all stand alone

Barefeet on the gravel man
We're on revelation road


Revelation, revelation...
