As I travel down this lonely road So many signs I should have seen Paths I've chosen never rise to meet The man I should have been As I sit here huddled in the dark A sullen face tattered clothes Thoughts of you struggle to keep me warm In this night so bitter cold Devastated, all alone Of my sins I can't atone Self-imposed This is my hell (I want you to release me) Forgotten soul some twenty years A vivid memory of your tears Let me go This is my hell (I want you to release me) Can't control my inner rage Now I'm damned to live that day For all time This is my hell (I want you to release me) I'd trade my soul for what I've done I swear to Father and to Son You were my world This is my hell (I want you to release me) I can see the tears Falling from your eyes I can see the light Growing dimmer as I die Over and over in my mind I've come to you so many times And asked forgiveness For your hell (I want you to release me) Please forgive this awful thing So I can hear death's angels sing You were my world This is my hell (I want you to release me) I can see the tears Falling from your eyes I can see the light Growing dimmer as I die I can see the tears (I can see your pain) Falling from your eyes I can see the light Growing dimmer as I die
