Forgive me now for I have sold my soul for gold
Washed up on shore a thousand miles away from home
Just as I begin to settle into these skin and bones alone
I find the answers to questions I have never known
Is there a life beyond the grave
And will I make the same mistakes day after day
There must be a better way
Running from time to try to keep myself alive
Release my pride to keep from pushing the light aside
Now as I begin to let this in I must keep the best in mind
And remove myself from the things that are wasting my time
I know that one of these days I'll finally see you 
Face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave
I know these words won't hold any weight
But please don't turn away
Don't turn away from me
Is there a life beyond the grave
Will I make the same mistakes day after day
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days I'll finally see you 
Face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave
Is there a life beyond the grave
Will I make the same mistakes day after day
There must be a better way
I know that one of these days I'll finally see you 
Face to face at the golden gates
Will you take me or will I fade into the grave
Forgive me now for I have sold my soul for gold
Washed up on shore a thousand miles away from home
Just as I begin to settle into these skin and bones alone
I find the answers to questions I have never known
