The Killing Ground

Lyrics

[Intro: Joe Richardson] Just another link in His chain Just the another link in His chain All God's children have stopped to listen Just another link in His chain ... Look at you, all God's children know You're just a link in His chain (Yeah, just a link in the chain) When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down The whip comes down (Just...) [Verse 1: Joe Richardson] A thief on the left and one on the right Up on the hill about twilight One lived forever, the other died While a thorny head hung to one side [Refrain: Joe Richardson] Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground Two got to heaven from The killing ground Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground [Hook 1: Joe Richardson] While a thorny head hung down A Lord's whip, a whip comes down Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord, say now, here it comes Oh, Lord [Verse 2: Joe Richardson] Two men accused of breaking the law Up on the side of Golgotha One man accused of being a king That's the saddest song I'll ever sing (That's too bad) [Refrain: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis] Two got to heaven from The killing ground I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground I said, two got to heaven from The killing ground [Hook 2: Joe Richardson] When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down Oh, yeah, hey [Verse 1: Joe Richardson] A thief on the left and one on the right Up on the hill about twilight One lived forever, the other died While a thorny head hung to one side While a thorny head hung to one side [Refrain: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis] Two got to heaven from The killing ground Yeah, two got to heaven from The killing ground Two got to heaven from The killing ground [Hook 2: Joe Richardson & Carla Trevaskis] When the Lord gets ready the whip comes down [Interlude Joe Richardson] Yeah The Lord gets ready the whip comes down The Lord gets ready the whip comes down [Coda: Joe Richardson] You can drift, drift, drift somewhere Drifting, hey Can't find no heaven No matter where you go Oh, God's never ever listened for me, ever sure Just another link Yeah, just a link in the chain
