Verse 1

I wasn’t fast enough

My draw was just too slow

Now the bullet lies within me

Pushing on my soul

I thought I had a chance

Maybe one more time

But the gunman overtook me

And sealed this fate of mine

Pre Chorus

As the blood flows

Let it be known

Chorus

My life’s been sweet as wine

A little pinch of time

It’s all I’ve known

it’s been mine alone

A gift from up above

To live down below

Thru love and pain

I’m grateful all the same

...as the blood flows,

...let it be known

Verse 2

I’m not a perfect man

I’ve never claimed to be

I’ve whispered love so gently

With crimson on my sleeves

But in the desert wind

God, he spoke to me

Told me how he shot Death

I fell there on my knees

Pre Chorus

As the blood flows

Let it be known

Chorus

My life’s been sweet as wine

Bitter though sometimes

It’s all I’ve known

it’s been mine alone

A hand from up above

To hold mine below

Thru love and pain

I’m grateful all he same

...as the blood flows,

...let it be known

As the blood flows

As the blood flows

As the blood flows

Let it be known
