(When I wake up in the morning)

I'm bleeding out, I'm bleeding out
My eyes are full of blood, they're closing up
My clothes are tight enough, they cut them off
The skies aren't bright enough to see the gods
One hand on the crown, I'm on the ground
Tears are falling as she's looking down
The sky looks way darker than usual
And it's like dark's becoming beautiful

I told her, don't cry, be a soldier
Now you're holding your composure
I think I see the holy ghost
I'm not ready yet to meet the throne
No crying, I'm a soldier
And I'm holding my composure
I think I see the holy ghost
I'm not ready yet to meet the throne

Night, night to my enemies
Didn't think I would survive my injuries
Didn't think the almighty would intervene
I know they are praying for the death of me (death of me)
If life was a melody
Would the angels congregate and sing for me?
Blue lights in the sky signify tragedy
You're chosen by the heavens and you have to leave (have to leave)

Tell me, did you think I died for a second?
So did I, for a second
Oh lord, I look up into the sky
And thank my blessing
Are you taking me early?
Are the gates really pearly
Will I wake up in the morning?

Where was you when you seen it?
Nearly died and I mean it
I cannot think of another time
In life that I have needed
The support of my people
Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil

That's when I told her, don't cry, be a soldier
Now you're holding your composure
I think I see the holy ghost
I'm not ready yet to meet the throne
No crying, I'm a soldier
And I'm holding my composure
I think I see the holy ghost
I'm not ready yet to meet the throne

Night, night to my enemies
Didn't think I would survive my injuries
Didn't think the almighty would intervene
I know they are praying for the death of me (death of me)
If life was a melody
Would the angels congregate and sing for me?
Blue lights in the sky signify tragedy
You're chosen by the heavens and you have to leave (have to leave)

Shoot me down, paranoia
Bring a medic, bring a lawyer
I can't even bear the thought of
Living on with all this trauma
If the blood thickens up
And goes to your heart, will you fall apart
When the bright days start to feel dark?
If it's breaking my spirit and I pray
Will you hear it? Hallelujah, Hallelujah
If it's breaking my spirit and I pray
Will you hear it? Hallelujah, Hallelujah
