Shelter for my soul

At the end of my days
When I'm called to go
Into the open arms
Of the Holy Ghost
To have lived such a life
As I have known
Oh, fortune follow me
That I'm afraid no more

For my great mistakes
I will surely pay
I'm running low
And the devil is on my trail
When fates delivers me
All I'll ask it for
Is a place to rest and shelter
O'er my soul

Oh, if I could spend my days
Free from the prison of your gaze
Then I could die a happy man
Oh, if I could spend my days
Free from the shadow of my name
Then I could die a happy man

And when I am released
From this mortal load
I'll take my leave
But I don't wanna go
When fates delivers me
All I'll ask it for
A place to rest and shelter
O'er my soul
