How can you keep me?
Knowing I've made you sadly

And yet, I ask to be forgiven
Knowing the life that I've been living
And yes, I know it's too late
'Cause on your Judgment day you're gonna close your gates
On me, on me, on me
And I'll be left here on my own
To face hell all alone

But Lord, you've got to understand
That I'm just twenty and a rebel young man
And it's odd to touch the state of mind
But I could see you and still be blind

And yet, I ask to be forgiven
Knowing the life that I've been living
And yes, I know it's too late
'Cause on your Judgment day you're gonna close your gates
On me, on me, on me
And I'll be left here on my own
To face hell all alone

And yet, I ask to be forgiven
Knowing the life that I've been living
And yes, I know it's too late
'Cause on your Judgment day you're gonna close your gates
On me, on me, on me
And I'll be left here on my own
To face hell all alone
