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 in to these skin and bones, alone I find the answers to questions I have never known Is there 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 and 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 life beyond the grave? And 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 life beyond the grave? And 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 in to these skin and bones, alone I find the answers to questions I have never known
