One Step Closer To The Grave

On a hillside in the suit I own
To say goodbye, now I’m left alone
The preacher’s words are piercing through the haze
One step closer to the grave
Found my Bible in the back bedroom
Found the passage where the honey is ruined
Turn the pages to the words in red
On my knees beside the bed
One less heartbeat, one less breath
One less moment to prepare for death
To my sin I’ve been a slave, and it hits me
One step closer to the grave
My hair is gray and I have lost my glow
Youth is gone for me and now I know
Life is nothing if a man’s not saved, we’re all
One step closer to the grave
One less heartbeat, one less breath
One less moment to prepare for death
To my sin I’ve been a slave, and it hits me
One step closer to the grave
