TruthBeKnown - Against The Dying Of The Light lyrics

rate me

In my darker hours

when the shades have all been drawn

I count the cost I've paid

just to count myself alive

Feel the sand slip through my fingers

as I clutch at the shore

feel the tide, always receding

feel the absence of your warmth

Could this be the last time

that you call these arms home

could this be the ending

that we never thought would come

You fade, intangible

your words reach my heart

at least say my name

let me know you're safe

that you reached the far horizon

If we must say good bye, let it be like this

with our eyes and mouth denying

our hands clutched in resistance

futile though it may be

Standing in this moment

against the dying of the light

End the songs of mourning

raise our voices now to hope

for what passes into shadow

is never truly gone

for what passes into shadow

is never truly gone

“Go not gently (go not gently)

into that good night

rage,rage,(rage)

against the dying of the light.”-Dylan Thomas
