The Killing Ground [Excerpt]

[Intro: Joe Richardson]
Just another link in His chain
Just another link in His chain
Look at you, all God's children know
You're just a link in His chain
(Yeah, just a link in the chain)
(Just...)

[Verse 1: Joe Richardson]
A thief on the left and one on the right
Up on the hill about twilight
One lived forever, the other died
While a thorny head hung to one side

[Refrain: Joe Richardson]
Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground

[Hook 1: Joe Richardson]
While a thorny head hung down
A Lord's whip, a whip comes down
Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord, say now, here it comes

[Verse 2: Joe Richardson]
Two men accused of brеaking the law
Up on the side of Golgotha
Onе man accused of being a king
That's the saddest song I'll ever sing

[Refrain: Joe Richardson]
Two got to heaven from The killing ground
I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground
I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground

[Hook 2: Joe Richardson]
When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down

[Interlude]

[Coda: Joe Richardson]
You can drift, drift, drift somewhere
Drifting, yeah
Can't find no heaven
No matter where you go
Oh, God's never ever listened for me, ever sure
