[Verse] There’s a shadow in the valley where the devil takes his rest Every step you take feels heavy like a stone upon your chest The wind it whispers secrets but the truth won’t set you free [Chorus] It’s guts and glory in the dead of night No salvation no guiding light You fight or fall you crawl or climb Guts and glory till the end of time [Verse 2] I heard the river laughing as it dragged a soul downstream The trees they twist like sinners caught inside a fever dream And the moon hangs low like judgment staring cold and pale at me [Prechorus] You can run but the road won’t bend You can pray but the prayers don’t end [Chorus] It’s guts and glory in the dead of night No salvation no guiding light You fight or fall you crawl or climb Guts and glory till the end of time [Bridge] The preacher’s hands are dirty the choir sings off key There’s a hymn for the broken but no verse for you or me Oh no verse for you or me
