I had to watch as your words
Filled my sons with fear and shame
Chased by visions of Jesus
And in my dreams consumed by flames
But I still believe in angels
Even as they watch me whither away
Please just give me one last breath
Before I pa** from this place
One last breath for the wicked
One last breath for the sin
One last breath for the lost, the nameless
And those that I've forgotten
And one last breath to ease the darkness
In those I love when I'm gone
One last breath to say goodbye
Please don't mind me as I linger on
Don't mind me as I linger on.
And I still believe in angels
And footsteps in the snow
And I still believe in the goodness of Man
Despite the evil in my world
And I still believe in love
Though I'm happy to be free of the pain
But please just give me one last breath
Before I pa** from this place
One last breath for the wicked
One last breath for the sin
One last breath for the lost, the nameless
And those that I've forgotten
One last breath for the beauty
For the sunset
And the sorrow
One last breath for our children
We leave burdened with our tomorrows
