"I Stay Ready" lyrics

"I Stay Ready"

Dark clouds race through my mind
Thoughts of revenge keep me up at night
I see a bishop all cloaked in red
Those who laid a price upon my head

My spirit won't let me rest
Always searching for another test
There's no promise what tomorrow brings
So I stay ready for anything

For now I leave your warm embrace
Glory doesn't come to those who wait
True love is an open road
Good fortune rewards the both

My spirit won't let me rest
Always searching for another test
There's no promise what tomorrow brings
You know I stay ready for anything

I've done things I can't defend
Raised in a world full of wicked men
I watched the lilies growing in the field
You can't touch what isn't real

My spirit won't let me rest
Always searching for another test
There's no promise what tomorrow brings
So I stay ready for anything
There's no promise what tomorrow brings
You know I stay ready for anything
