73

Every beginning has it's end, 
every fire eventually burns out, 
the toll has to be paid, you 
have to face the truth nothing's 
made to last forever, one day 
we all will shut our eyes for a 
final time, the only thing left is 
to pray to god for his 
forgiveness, hopefully he will 
let my wicked soul through the 
gates when my lungs take in no 
more air or will it be the devils 
door I'll be knocking on when 
my time here expires, but I'm 
not that far into my story yet, 
it's just the beginning
