Going Down In Flames

The fight is almost over 
Please come gather my remains 
Too much weight upon my shoulders 
Now I’m going down in flames 

I want to take them all down with me 
But I won’t name no names 
Maybe one of them will lift me 
As I’m going down in flames 

You have to beg forgiveness 
Only then you can be saved 
Well then can I get a witness 
‘Cause I’m going down in flames 

Now I don’t need your pitty
While I’m stepping in my grave 
All hope has died within me 
And I’m going down in flames
