I've held the hand of God and I've sang the Devil's song 

And when it comes my time no tears are gonna fall 

But some will light the fire And some will mourn the one 

Left longing for the ire of their departed son. 



Oh lord have mercy thank God you're gone 

Here's to the end, thank God you're gone. 



They finally shoved you in the box 

They could never fit you in 

An empty cell forever locked So much for best intentions. 

But some will load the gun And some will hone the knife 

Some will raise the fist as they recall your life. 

We've waited for so long, thank God you're gone. 



I've held the hand of God and I've sang the Devil's song 

You'll never erase the past or regain what's lost 

You're finally gone So far gone.
