So you say you want redemption
are you prepared to have your hands tied?
are you prepared to take the plunge into the icy stream,
cinder blocks tied to your feet
are you ready to be bled until your veins are white and empty
because this is what it takes
to feel the hand on the back of your shirt
holding onto you

I've wandered through the night
and tasted the devi's best water
I've eaten the fruit of good and evil again and again
I've seen where that leads
and I've been to the threshold
and felt the hand on the back of my shirt
holding onto me

so you say you want redemption?
get in line
walk to the edge where you can see the bottom
don't stop there and you'll be fine
don't stop there and you'll be fine
you'll feel the hand on the back of your shirt
holding onto you
