Locked & Loaded [Song & Lyrics]
Lyrics: A man was holding up a couple
Southside for liquor to buy
His pockets had holes
That lost his nickels and dimes
The couple told him he was loved
By a God he denied
They told him he was never too lost
To be made alive
He said
I’ve been living all alone
My religion is the weapon I’m holding
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
I’ve been living on a loan
Just a sinner from the gutter I’m home in
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
The bullet from the gun
left the barrel like aging wine
Everything slowed like the
trigger hit space and time
Across the world, another gun
another shot in the night
Into a mother and the
God she wouldn’t deny
She said I’ve been living all alone
My religion is the weapon I’m holding
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
I’ve been living on a loan
Just a sinner from the gutter I’m home in
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
Some see no thread inside
everything hopeless, everything dying
But I can see it, the fairest light
The darkest ocean plays the violin
There was a soldier on the front lines
18-years-old with a hunter’s eyes
Walking through the rubble of a house at sunrise
A photo of a young wife
Was broken on the floor as he snuck inside
And in the next room was a man whose blood dried
He had different colors on, with ribbons on the front
Obeyed another law, had a different mother tongue
But in each other was the face of the other one
One lifted his eyes, one lifted his gun
One thought of his life, one thought of his son
Their wounds said it with the dust:
I’ve been living all alone
My religion is the weapon I’m holding
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
I’ve been living on a loan
Just a sinner from the gutter I’m home in
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
Show me the river where the low is
Make a pillar of your broken son
Show me the silver where the stone is
Show me the kiss in what the locust does
Show me the river where the hole is
Make a pillar of your lowest one
Show me the giver where the foe is
Show me what lives within the coldest blood
‘Cause I’ve been living all alone
My religion is the weapon I’m holding
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
I’ve been living on a loan
Just a sinner from the gutter I’m home in
If God is in the lows
Then hallelujah from the locked and loaded
