Holy Light

"Holy Light"

The world fades into red as the sunset slips into gray

And seconds pass, and seasons go.

From up on high I spotted a flock of dead birds

Flying west, into that sunset.

I spread my wing from up on high

And I, closing my eyes, attempt to fly.

But watch me fall as I become one

In unity with the dead, into that sunset.

By the morning, I’ll be gone

By the morning, I’ll rot.

No goodbyes for you

No goodbyes for you.

By the morning, I’ll be gone

By the morning, I’ll rot.

I was so far up, so high up

Yet I jumped, I gave it all to God.

I followed blindly, screaming violently

To the sun, to the light!

Yet, here I fall, here I lay

Here I stay with the flock of the dead.

I had it all, yet it wasn’t enough

It was never enough, I needed to follow the sun.

By the morning, I’ll be gone

By the morning, I’ll rot.

No goodbyes for you

No goodbyes for you.

By the morning, I’ll be gone

By the morning, I’ll rot.

If there’s one piece of advice I’d like to give

To the old, to the young, to the strong

Don’t follow a sun that’s miles away

Don’t follow a sun, keep it away.

The light may be appealing,

It might give you hope,

But you’ll see you’re wrong once you have died

Just like me.
