Lyrics

My friend, well he walked me down these roads I'd never know
The salvation of my soul, myself the only goal
There were pleasures I thought I'd seen
And some I never knew
There were people dressed in rainments of an in certain hue
And the chances I thought I'd had
Many I missed
There were devils bearing gifts and angels on the piss

For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why
And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die

On the first day I met myself, coming back from the third
I believed in what I was doing, I swallowed every word
Every word that I was told by the great and the good
I bit the poisened apple, 'cause I felt that I should

For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why
And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die

Now that I come to it, I can't recall
What it was I achieved, just before my fall
I saw visions of uglyness, I visted shame
But I know should I come to it
I'd do it all again

For my sins I will confess and I will never lie
There's nobody that was ever here
That's never wondered why
And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die

And i'v lived my life the best, every second to defy
Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die
When I die .

Will nobody that was ever here
Grieve me when I die .
