Oh my lord
Help me understand
The wrong I've done
Help these weary hands

Choose the bible or the gun
Choose the bible or the gun
Choose the bible, or the gun

Well, I'll purge my soul
By the hand that cast my grave
My faith grows cold
By the bitter twist of fate

To choose the bible or the gun
To find survival on the run
You gotta rely on the lord above
To choose the bible or the gun, or the gun

Well, I curse this world
For the deeds that have been done
God's mercy shown
To the heathens that have come

To choose the bible or the gun
To find survival on the run
You gotta rely on the lord above
To choose the bible or the gun

Choose the bible or the gun
Find survival on the run
You gotta rely on the lord above
To choose the bible or the gun, or the gun
