In the twilight of night
Where the stars are all bright
There’s a place for my pains
And all my fears are disdained
The voices of the past are soon numbing
As a pathway to the heaven is coming
While hours unwind
I see all that reminds
As the time stands still
I’ve lost all will
Nothing to look back and nothing to look forward
I close my eyes and into the light to step forward
Through all of the years
I swarm past all my tears
And into the streams
Of all my tainted dreams
Haunting and screaming echoing in my ears
As my shadows still laughing at my fears
Now there’s nowhere to go
And I have nothing to show
A lifetime of mistakes
Have led to my fate
But I do not regret this life over been livin’
For I feel that all of my sins will be forgiven
I await for a sign
So through the darkness I can shine
Within the earth I’ll be
Just like the others before me
Waiting to reunite with old friends
Don’t be scared we all must prepare for the end
Will you remember me?
When I’m just a memory
How will I let you see?
All of my legacies
What will I leave behind?
For you all to find
I feel the need to take my last breath
Celebrate my life don’t grieve my death
The life I live begins to unravel
And redemption waits for me at the end of the road I travel
As I lay staring at the sky
I know I’m about to die
I’ll clear my head
And forget what was said
Rest my weary body on the floor
Escape to where words won’t hurt me anymore
No eyes to stare me down
In a vast empty town
No more wishing for the best when the best won’t come
And I know heaven holds the key to my redemption
I can laugh in the rain
No excuse to end my pain
People go everyday
Now’s my chance to get away
Hitching a ride across the river Styx
Just to see who heaven picks
But before my doom
There in a room
Where lights are all out
And candle flickers with doubt
Here in this place someone can feel my pain
I can see in the dark this life’s about to drain
So I thought I’d take a peek
Before my soul grows weak
It is an outcast
Torment by the past
So I whispered in your ear
All the words you wished to hear
I’m sure I don’t know
But it can’t be your time to go
There’s no real way I can’t stop you
If what’s done is done I can’t undo
There are a lot I don’t need to mention
I’ll clear my head so that I can have my redemption
Heaven holds the key
To what can save me
There’s only one thing I want when I can’t take no more
And redemption is all I’m asking for
