   Verse 1
   
   As the last breath triggers the last beat
   I look to the sky to drown the devilish heat
   I feel it closin', they're gettin' higher and higher
   Each foul flame from the same hellfire
   Only moments passed since I existed
   Perhaps I acted rash, I should have done what they insisted
   I resisted, twisted thoughts ran wild
   I was too mad to be mild, I was too rough to be riled
   But now it's done, I probably won't be missed by anyone
   Although I had my fun I'm still on the run
   Where am I goin'? It's no good not knowin'
   Should be glad that I'm gone because my yellow streak's showin'
   Thinkin' have I done much wrong for me to perish
   Or will I have another day for me to cherish
   I have to bargain, see my soul's on the line
   So I'll settle for nothin' lesser than the Great Divine
   
   Verse 2
   
   Friends worked hard to try and save me, why? They didn't know
   If I was them I would've left me long ago
   It's over, thoughts are trained towards the hereafter
   I look for The Saviour but then I hear laughter
   If I'm to make it through the Pearly Gates
   I have to devise a plan and get my story straight
   It ain't too late to save my soul, I never lost a scheme
   I'll talk to God and make him melt like an ice cream
   It seems this waiting is for reflection
   Then when it's done I'll go whatever direction I deserve
   But listen, I'll deserve my place there
   Ok, I'm scared, but I don't easily scare
   I'll walk up, knock on the door like I'm the gentry
   Plead from my knee and they'll proceed to give me entry
   I reflect on all the stealin', the dealin', the dissin'
   Hopin' somewhere up in heaven that my file went missin'
   
   Verse 3
   
   I used to be a big man, like kings respected
   I carried out the sort of things expected of me
   And my posse, bred to be bossy
   Didn't yield to command you felt the back of my hand, understand?
   I did dope, sold to kids who were thrilled by it
   I was responsible for many who were killed by it
   I didn't realise then, but now I know
   I didn't realise then, but even so
   I stole to deprive, scold those who patronised
   Fought for my turf, it was worth it in my eyes
   Cheated, repeated all this day by day
   Until the medic picked me up from where I lay
   Bleeding, but not conceding to the battle
   The darkness teased an unease, light bleeds staccato
   That's when I knew I had to try it
   Prepare a prayer and pray he'd buy it
   Convince him, rinse him of my dirty past
   Rotten or right I must fight to the last
   Before the hands that pulled me down held tight
   I will repent before the love of life
   Fear cries, I'm drowned and bound to miss
   Valhalla, my seat in celestial bliss
   Infernal heat just like a creature creepin'
   Eternal sleep will be a lonely sleepin'
   
   Verse 4
   
   Father friend me, defend me
   Lend me your faith so that my fate don't send me
   Down to the gates of Hell
   I did enough time inside a prison cell
   So take me, don't forsake me
   Shape me from here so that my fear don't break me
   Keep me from the terror that lies
   Beneath your kingdom, beneath the skies...
   
   Did he buy that? Well did he hear my prayer?
   I gave praise, I'm amazed he's still up there
   He's probably sendin' down a heavenly host
   He's just too busy to be leavin' his post
   So I wait for a while but the Devil's still posin'
   I wave goodbye while the gates are closin' behind me
   You'll never bind me or enslave me
   Hurry up heaven, come down and save me.
