Just Like Every Cross You Ever Carried, Every Badge You Ever Wore

Every Vow You Ever Taken, Every Oath You Ever Swore

Every Kiss You Ever Stolen, Every Moment That You Waste

Everything You Ever Loved, And All You've Come To Hate

It's A Great Temptation, In Your Hour Of Need

But There's No Shortcut To Salvation

Searchin' For The Kingdom Key



Just Like Every Vision You Neglected, Every Dream You Left To Die

Every Hope That You Rejected, Every Truth That Was A Lie

Every Road You Ever Travelled, Everyone You Turned Away

Everything You Ever Loved, And All That You Betrayed



It's A Great Temptation, In Your Hour Of Need

But There's No Shortcut To Salvation

Searchin' For The Kingdom Key



And The Light Before Him Was All That He Could See

Like Fingerprints On The Hands Of Glory Wrapped 'round The Rosary

His Love Is Like A Chain

That Would Not Set Him Free, Would Not Set Him Free

Lonely Soul On A Mission Of Mercy, Hey Yeah... Mmm



Just Like Every Cross You Ever Carried, Every Badge You Ever Wore

Every Vow You Ever Taken, Every Oath You Ever Swore

Everything You Ever Loved, And All You've Come To Hate



It's A Great Temptation, In Your Hour Of Need

But There's No Shortcut To Salvation

Searchin' For The Kingdom Key



It's A Great Temptation, In Your Hour Of Need

But There's No Shortcut To Salvation

Searchin' For The Kingdom Key -- Hey Yeah...
