|
It seems as clear as yesterday |
|
We saw it in a dream |
|
But dream became insanity |
|
An awful gaping scream |
|
So sad to see such emptiness |
|
So sad to see such tears |
|
And heaped up leaves of bitterness |
|
Turned mouldy down the years |
|
Nothing but the truth. |
|
Common words in use |
|
Hard to find excuse |
|
Harder than the truth |
|
Like icarus we flew too high |
|
We flew too near the sun |
|
They caught us in that awful glare |
|
Our hapless throats were strung |
|
But just before the final stroke |
|
They took us victims of the rope |
|
And cast us far beyond the deep |
|
To lie in never ending sleep |
|
It seems as clear as yesterday |
|
They cast us in the deep |
|
We lie in darkest night for good |
|
Never ending sleep |
|
A never ending bitter gloom |
|
Whose darkness seldom clears |
|
A god forsaken emptiness |
|
Which fills our hearts with tears |
