A Second Chance -

Her life, must come to an end

Memories of yesteryear, I can’t pretend

I did not wrong her

I’m not to blame

Her cruel affliction

It is my shame

She asked, only one thing

That I would see her, before the bells ring

A broken promise

I did not keep

But I must see her

Before she sleeps

I think, about my old friend

He passed away last year, true to the end

The words he stated

Pointed to me

A dark foreboding

Of what might be

He spoke of deaths hands so cold

An ancient legend, stories of old

If death should call you

You must obey

And drive his carriage

Til New Year’s Day

This soul will never be free

This soul will never, will never be free

Unless a change is made and I see the light

This soul will never, never be free

And now I see the light it all becomes clear

How could I be so blind and hurt those so dear

In my wretched life I drink and I fight

Death walks behind me and snuffs out the light

Here running

I let you down

Here running

I let you down

I want a second chance

To make it alright

I could change my ways

And embrace the light

Redemption has it’s price and now I must pay

I make the sacrifice and give it away

The old man’s dying, the new man is born

If you could understand, forgive and move on

Here running

I let you down

Here running

I let you down

He gave a second chance

To make it alright

I went and changed my ways

And embraced the light
