I heard the church bell ringing in the cold grey dawn Preacher man was callin', but the choir's long gone I been running down a highway made of broken stone Every mile behind me is a debt I still own I tried to find redemption at the bottom of a glass But the devil keeps on smiling as the good times pass Mama told me, "Son, you better learn to pray" 'Cause the reaper's coming closer on that judgement day Can you feel the thunder rolling Can you hear that freedom train When the heavens start to open Ain't no shelter from the rain Judgement Day, coming down like fire Judgement Day, lift your voices higher When the trumpet sounds, gonna face the flame Ain't no mercy on that Judgement Day I loved a dark-eyed woman with a heart of clay She stole my soul one night and threw my love away Now I'm standing at the crossroads with my head hung low The blues keep calling, and I can't let go I been living hard, I been loving fast Tried to outrun the shadows of my guilty past But the book of life don't lie, hear what I say Every sinner's gonna pay on that judgement day Can you feel the thunder rolling Can you hear that freedom train When the heavens start to open Ain't no shelter from the rain Judgement Day, coming down like fire Judgement Day, lift your voices higher When the trumpet sounds, gonna face the flame Ain't no mercy on that Judgement Day Ooh, lay your burden down Lay your burden down, child When Gabriel blows, gonna shake this town Judgement Day, coming down like fire Judgement Day, lift your voices higher When the trumpet sounds, gonna face the flame Ain't no mercy, no, no mercy on that Judgement Day
