Soulless Saints

I found grace
But it's amazing how far I had to fall
Before I wound up
Facing all my demons on my own

I tried to cover up my sins, with whiskey and gin
And just before the Good Lord called me home 
I found out there's a lot of room in hell
For soulless saints to roam

My soul was lost now here I am alone 
My only light in the darkness 
Had been snuffed out long ago

I need to repent 
And somehow find my way back home
Cause I know the devil has a place
For soulless saints to roam

I'm not sure if I was dreamin
But I saw fire and brimstone 
And a voice from the shadows 
Spoke of the seeds that I had sown

He said we always like your kind here
Those who've fallen on their own
I call you a soulless saint 
Cause it was lost so long ago 

My souls was lost, now here I am to roam
The only light in my darkness
Had been snuffed out long ago

I knew I had to repent
So I could find my way back home
Before I spent life eternally
Where soulless saints are left to roam

I woke up in a panic 
And I looked all around
The clock on the wall read 2 o'clock
I'm not sure how long I'd been out 

Then beside me I saw Him
Standing there with open arms
I cant repay but I've been saved
From where soulless saints roam

My sins been paid by the blood he gave
So soulless saints aren't left to roam
