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
