The Blood And The Fire

THE BLOOD AND THE FIRE - Written by Carroll Bryant

The cross is carried alone

The burden gets so heavy at times

And it eats right down to my bones

Walk the trail alone

The people will talk but offer no help

The cross is carried alone

So, now you know - I preach to the blood and the fire

Lightning strikes right to the bones

The cross is carried alone

To who’s heart do I bury?

The power can get so out of control

Roads which to choose from are many

Ghosts gallantly roam

The people will gawk but do nothing exposed

The power gets out of control

So, now you know - I preach to the blood and the fire

Lightning strikes right to the bones

The cross is carried alone

Watch them turn to stone

Stand on a beach all by yourself

And watch the ocean roll

And through the cracks of the thunder

Fear is like darkness, one can only wonder

The cross is carried alone

So, now you know - I preach to the blood and the fire

Lightning strikes right to the soul

The cross is carried alone

The cross is carried alone - I preach to the blood and the fire

Lightning strikes right to the soul – the cross is carried alone

Lightning strikes right to the soul – the cross is carried alone
