Baptized In Black

The river was dark the night was cold
The sins I carried were bought and sold
The preacher warned but I turned away
Now the devil's fire is my only way
I was baptized in black in the shadow of sin
No turning back from the life I'm in
The flames will rise and the heavens crack
I was baptized in black and I can't come back
I've walked the line where the cursed men stray
Each step I've taken led me further away
The blood I've spilled stains the earth and stone
The preacher's gone and I'm all alone
I was baptized in black in the shadow of sin
No turning back from the life I'm in
The flames will rise and the heavens crack
I was baptized in black and I can't come back
The grave I dug is my only friend
I've made my peace with the bitter end
No prayers will rise no saints will weep
The devil calls and my soul he keeps
I was baptized in black in the shadow of sin
No turning back from the life I'm in
The flames will rise and the heavens crack
I was baptized in black and I can't come back
And I can't come back
