lyrics

My Last Breath

I don’t believe in hell but I’m scared to death
of everything I’ve done watching my last breath
do I have a soul will it save me then
we all find out my friend
So will I know, that my times come, will I see, the ending of my run

When I close my eyes for the final time
I hope to see who I missed in life
The ones who went before my time
will I see them in the light
The ones I loved, who went away, all the ones, sleeping in their graves

I don’t believe in God but I know his name
enough of my family has praised and preyed
I know there’s no man living in the sky
but I also know we all gotta die
Do they sing, out his name, in the hopes, that they’ll live again

So when I go don’t bury me
burn my body take it to the sea
the prairies are my heart but the seas my soul
you know you gotta just let me go
Drop me in, to wash away, let me go, it’s the final toll to pay

Cause time will wait for no man
the days past by ain’t coming back
but death waits here for everyone
it’s a date you can’t out run
you can try, all your life, but soon enough you’re going to have to die
