Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore Every kiss you ever stolen, every moment that you waste Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate It's a great temptation, in your hour of need But there's no shortcut to salvation Searchin' for the kingdom key
Just like every vision you neglected, every dream you left to die Every hope that you rejected, every truth that was a lie Every road you ever travelled, everyone you turned away Everything you ever loved, and all that you betrayed
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need But there's no shortcut to salvation Searchin' for the kingdom key
And the light before him was all that he could see Like fingerprints on the hands of glory wrapped 'round the rosary His love is like a chain That would not set him free, would not set him free Lonely soul on a mission of mercy, hey yeah... mmm
Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore Everything you ever loved, and all you've come to hate
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need But there's no shortcut to salvation Searchin' for the kingdom key
It's a great temptation, in your hour of need But there's no shortcut to salvation Searchin' for the kingdom key -- hey yeah...
