In the folds of the darkness of night Through the cold where the heartless take flight Mama begs and she pleads that I'll change But the scars from the dirt still remain In this fire, fire I get tired, tired There's a price to pay When you play the game Good Lord, I pray My sins gon' wash away My sins gon' wash away In the grips where the wicked reside You can run but there's no place to hide Lived a lie and now you're staring at the truth Sold your soul now there's nothin' left to lose In this fire, fire I get tired, tired There's a price to pay When you play the game Good Lord, I pray My sins gon' wash away My sins gon' wash away Caught up in a constant battle It looks like the costs exceeds me No matter which road I travel One thing I see, ain't nothing free There's a price to pay When you play the game Good Lord, I pray My sins gon' wash away My sins gon' wash away
