Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Some nights I kneel where the shadows hide,

Prayin’ for mercy with nothing but pride.

The silence answers with a heavy tone,

I’m never as holy when I’m all alone.

[Verse 2]

Some nights I burn like a match struck fast,

Drownin’ in whiskey, outpacing my past.

The fire feels righteous, the lesson still raw,

But ashes don’t heal what the heart once saw.

[Verse 3]

I’ve worn the robe and I’ve worn the chain,

Tasted forgiveness and swallowed the shame.

Each scar’s a sermon, each bruise a hymn,

The light still flickers but it grows so dim.

[Pre-Choruses]

Do you kneel when the fire gets too near

Or burn it all down just to silence the fear

[Chorus]

The fire finds us all—every sinner has their turn,

Ashes tell the story of the lessons that we learn.

From altar to bottle, every saint will crash and burn.

Sin’s a heavy teacher, and faithful still must learn.

The night will strip you naked, and the fire makes you yearn.

Flames don’t ask permission, they just take what they’ve earned.

Will you KNEEL or BURN when it’s your TURN

[Verse 4]

A preacher’s son with a rebel’s soul,

Halfway broken, still not whole.

The devil don’t whisper—he laughs out loud,

I’ve danced with him in a smoke-filled crowd.

[Verse 5]

Some nights I kneel, begging to be spared,

Other nights I burn, like I never cared.

The line keeps shifting beneath my feet,

Holiness fades when the hunger’s sweet.

[Verse 6]

Every sinner’s road is paved with scars,

Lit by whiskey bottles and busted cars.

We chase the dawn though it feels too late,

Trading redemption for a twist of fate.

[Pre-Choruses]

Is redemption a lie we keep chasing in vain

Or the cure that comes crawling through the ache and the pain

[Chorus]

The fire finds us all—every sinner has their turn,

Ashes tell the story of the lessons that we learn.

From altar to bottle, every saint will crash and burn.

Sin’s a heavy teacher, and faithful still must learn.

The night will strip you naked, and the fire makes you yearn.

Flames don’t ask permission, they just take what they’ve earned.

Will you KNEEL or BURN when it’s your TURN

[Verse 7]

I’ve buried friends in the red clay ground,

Lost to the fire they never turned down.

The church bells rang but the bar lights glowed,

We chose which altar to call our home.

[Verse 8]

Some nights I kneel with a trembling hand,

Other nights I burn what I can’t withstand.

Grace feels close, then it slips away,

Like a shadow running at the break of day.

[Verse 9]

The choir sings of a brighter shore,

But I’m still knocking on the backroom door.

I know salvation, I know the flame,

Both call my soul, both know my name.

[Pre-Choruses]

When the night calls loud, do you bow or fight

Are you a sinner tonight, or a saint in the light

[Chorus]

The fire finds us all—every sinner has their turn,

Ashes tell the story of the lessons that we learn.

From altar to bottle, every saint will crash and burn.

Sin’s a heavy teacher, and faithful still must learn.

The night will strip you naked, and the fire makes you yearn.

Flames don’t ask permission, they just take what they’ve earned.

Will you KNEEL or BURN when it’s your TURN

[Verse 10]

Every sinner walks the same worn line,

Between the sacred and the sweet red wine.

Some nights I stumble, some nights I rise,

But the truth keeps staring from God’s own eyes.

[Verse 11]

I can’t outrun what the night demands,

Faith in one pocket, a bottle in my hands.

One day the fire will consume it all,

And I’ll answer the echo of that final call.

[Verse 12]

Some nights I kneel, some nights I burn,

The wheel keeps turning, we all will learn.

Mercy’s a gift, but it must be earned,

And every sinner has their turn.

[Pre-Choruses]

Is the fire our fate or the kneeling our choice

Which one speaks louder—the flame or the voice

[Chorus]

The fire finds us all—every sinner has their turn,

Ashes tell the story of the lessons that we learn.

From altar to bottle, every saint will crash and burn.

Sin’s a heavy teacher, and faithful still must learn.

The night will strip you naked, and the fire makes you yearn.

Flames don’t ask permission, they just take what they’ve earned.

Will you KNEEL or BURN when it’s your TURN
