[Verse 1]
I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
[Verse 2]
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust
[Chorus]
I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black, you can trust
It'll take your God-filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust
[Verse 3]
Well, I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
[Verse 4]
Well, I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise
[Chorus]
We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing
It'll turn your heart black, you can trust
It'll take your God-filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God-filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
[Verse 5]
Now every woman and every man
They want to take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
[Verse 6]
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust
[Chorus]
Well, I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It will turn your heart black, you can trust
It'll take your God-filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God-filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
