In the valley of the dying Son, I walk a crooked path alone
I came across the shadow of a man with an angel's breathe
Oh boy, He said to me, I see your future
Though you long for peace, the sword is your Father
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you when I kill a good man
To keep myself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you when I hold my girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash all the blood off my hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Bathed in the powder of a thousand guns, I am the king of sorrows
Watered by the tears and the innocent ones
The river groans, it moans, it swells
"Son", it calls to me, your days are numbered, numbered
Sow the seeds you will, but I am the Reaper
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you when you kill a good man
To keep yourself from being killed by him
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you when you hold your girl
And wonder if she'll ever love again
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
Wash all the blood off your hands
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of
I'm thinking of, I'm thinking of you
I howled at the moon like a wolf in the night
You wanna finish it, we're gonna finish it right
And then I felt it with a chill up my spine
There are no words to use that truly describe
The glory of the angel or the terror in me
Tonight will be my ending or tonight my new beginning
All through the night I wrestled the angel
To undo the curse that's burdened me all of my life
And for the first time I could see
That God was not my enemy
I thinking of you
For the first time I could see
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
That God was not my enemy
I'm thinking of you
Like pieces of the sun our light burns on and on and on
Like stars in the night sky we shine
I'm livin' to shine on
I'm livin' to shine on
I'm livin' to shine on
I'm livin' to shine on
I'm livin' to shine on
I'm livin' to shine on, oh turn it on
