Lyrics
Last Rites
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's been since the beginning, the ending that I choose
No love, no life, no future and nothing left to lose
Lives on the outside, the last rites of my life
The black hole of my mind, the last rites of my faith
Lives on the outside, mine was a waste but
This time we will not falter
This time we'll keep the faith
And when I'm dead and gone my words will live as my confession
Am I evil? Am I alone? Is this the end of my beginning?
Lives on the outside of a lie I swore I'd never tell
One foot in the grave, one hand in heaven, one in hell
This time we will not falter
This time we'll keep the faith
And when I'm dead and gone my words will live as my confession
The last rites of my life, my fall and my redemption
I thought that this was over turns out, it ended long ago
Everything I left unspoken was all I need, all I need
The name I left unspoken is the name I need to know
And I want to believe there is something to believe in
Life blood pumps in my veins for something I've forgotten
And though my life is lost, the last thing that I'll see
Is someone I've forgotten who still has not forgotten me
This time we will not falter
This time we'll keep the faith
