[Chorus]
When, when, when
When I fade, fade
Fall fading down
Will I be among the ones
Bestowed a golden crown?

[Verse 1]
It was easy becoming a junkie
Wasting all my mother's prayers and money
I honestly dreamed once, that I’d be the one
Aiming through iron sights and firing my gun
Instead, the slug will scatter my brain
And I'll stand judged with nothing to explain

[Chorus]
When, when, when
When I fade, fade
Fall fading down
Will I be among the ones
Bestowed a golden crown?

[Verse 2]
There are those of us
That don't believe in Hell
How can they be certain?
I could never tell
And for everything I do
What do I deserve?
Jesus, is it true?
Is it you I should serve?
[Chorus]
When, when, when
When I fade, fade
Fall fading down
Will I be among the ones
Bestowed a golden crown?

[Verse 3]
How humanity
Can’t it be cruel?
And my hypocrisy, reactionary tool
And why not when my god
Made me out to be a fool?
My faith was once a fuse
A fuse my frailty blew
