Too Dark to See

Intro:-
Twas on one Sabbath morn, the bells did chime for church
The young ang gay were gathering around that rustic porch,
There came an aged man, in soldiers garb was he
And gazing at that group he said “you all remember me”.

The days roll by so fast now, another year gone by,
With coffee cups to measure time as in this chair I lie,
Just another soldier on a passing out parade
Soon I’ll cast off this mortal skin and float off on the tide,

Oblivion, let the waves wash over me,
Blessed is the sacred heart that rolls towards the sea, all that remains,
Is to tie up the loose ends, set the spirit free,
Glad I read the writing on the wall before it got too dark to see.(x2)

There’s a TV no one’s watching, my eyes have turned to rust,
Who knows if there’s an Angel who will gather up the dust
Still hidden from the light of day things you would not want to see
So as I drift in and out of sleep, spare a thought for me..

Oblivion, let the waves wash over me,

So spare a thought for the departed all who brought us to this place
We stand upon their shoulders , though the world wears a different face
Tied to the treadmill, like prisoners bound and chained
Politicians bang their soundbite drum like rattling window panes.

Oblivion, let the waves wash over me,
