Marc Almond - I Have Lived lyrics
[Marc Almond - I Have Lived lyrics]
To the road of no return
On a journey every man must make someday
When it's time to meet my maker
And explain my sins away i will tell him
Yes I'll tell him I have lived
I have lived each single moment
As a man of flesh and blood
With my soul and all my senses open wide
I have lived and tasted everything that
Called out to be tried
I'm afraid of neither heaven nor of hell
Never caring if I had a soul to sell
I was no more optimistic than
My fellow man would be
I have always been an artist not a saint
Now the neon lights are
Dimming, no more costumes, no more paint
I admit that I was selfish, I have lived
I have lived a life of
Running after joy & happiness
With my feelings always tearing at my heart
Oh my lord, i should have thought of my
Salvation at the start
But on earth, so many mornings I was told
You would take a sinner back into the fold
If my reasons seems too fragile and
My words of no effect
And forgiveness is the one thing I must win
I'll explain my life and show you all
I am and all I've been
And I'll say for my defence
Well I have lived
I have lived with soul on fire
With desire in my skin
In the name of everyone I've ever known
I have worshipped every shrine of love
And if I must at all
I'll be ready then to kneel and pay the price
For the yesterdays I spent in paradise
I have lived my Life
