Last Rites

It's been since the beginning, the ending that I choose
 No love, no life, no future and nothing left to lose
 Lives on the outside, the last rites of my life
 The black hole of my mind, the last rites of my faith
 Lives on the outside, mine was a waste but
 This time we will not falter
 This time we'll keep the faith
 And when I'm dead and gone my words will live as my confession
 Am I evil? Am I alone? Is this the end of my beginning?
 Lives on the outside of a lie I swore I'd never tell
 One foot in the grave, one hand in heaven, one in hell
 This time we will not falter
 This time we'll keep the faith
 And when I'm dead and gone my words will live as my confession
 The last rites of my life, my fall and my redemption
 I thought that this was over turns out, it ended long ago
 Everything I left unspoken was all I need, all I need
 The name I left unspoken is the name I need to know
 And I want to believe there is something to believe in
 Life blood pumps in my veins for something I've forgotten
 And though my life is lost, the last thing that I'll see
 Is someone I've forgotten who still has not forgotten me
 This time we will not falter
 This time we'll keep the faith
