Before The Last Breathe

[Verse 1] I’ve memorized the names of every soul I’ve hurt, Every promise I betrayed, every lie I wore like dirt. I built my throne from broken hearts, Then blamed the world when it fell apart. I said, “I’m only human,” to escape what I had done, But the mirror kept on speaking when the night had overcome. Now the silence knows my name, And I’m done hiding from the blame. [Pre-Chorus] When the moon fades from the sky, And the final breath is near, What will I have left to offer But this trembling heart and fear? [Chorus / Great Hook] Ya Allah, forgive me before I die, Before my soul leaves this body behind. I confess every sin, every scar, every lie— Ya Allah, have mercy when I close my eyes. I was lost in the dark, I was blind to Your light, But I’m calling Your name in the dead of the night. Ya Allah, forgive me before I die— Let Your mercy be the last thing I find. [Verse 2] I remember how the grave won’t care about my gold, How the hands I pushed away won’t be there for me to hold. No pride can follow underground, No false crown can make a sound. The years I thought were endless vanished like a flame, And every breath I wasted now is whispering my name. If tomorrow never comes, Will I meet You as I am? [Pre-Chorus] I have no excuse to give, No disguise beneath my skin. If forgiveness is still open, Let this broken man come in. [Chorus / Great Hook] Ya Allah, forgive me before I die, Before my soul leaves this body behind. I confess every sin, every scar, every lie— Ya Allah, have mercy when I close my eyes. I was lost in the dark, I was blind to Your light, But I’m calling Your name in the dead of the night. Ya Allah, forgive me before I die— [Arabic-Tinted Bridge] Ya Rabb, I return with a heart full of shame, La ilaha illa Anta—I call on Your name. If the ocean of mercy is wider than sin, Then open the door and let this soul in. I can’t change the past, I can’t outrun the grave, But I can bow down now And ask the One who saves. [Breakdown] I confess… I surrender… Every shadow, every chain. I remember… Death is coming… And I don’t want to die the same. [Final Chorus] Ya Allah, forgive me before I die, Before my soul leaves this body behind. I confess every sin, every scar, every lie— Ya Allah, have mercy when I close my eyes. If one tear can reach You, let this be my sign, If one prayer can save me, then hear this tonight. Ya Allah, forgive me before..... (Your mercy be the last thing I never found) [climax, rising highest notes] Ya Allah, forgive me before I die, Before my soul leaves this body behind. (Let Your mercy be the last thing I find.) I confess every sin, every scar, every lie— Ya Allah, have mercy when I close my eyes. If one tear can reach You, let this be my sign, (Let Your mercy be the last thing I find.) If one prayer can save me, then hear this tonight. Ya Allah, forgive me before I die— Let Your mercy be the last thing I find. [Outro] When they lower me down beneath the fading sky, Don’t let my final memory be the man I was inside. Ya Allah… forgive me. Ya Allah… receive... me.... [echo fade out]
