I look through my strangled eyes, all I ever see is gloom
Flowers seem to fade away , refuse to even bloom
the Emptiness it fills me , like a hot air balloon
Darkness overtakes me , on a summers after-noon
I can hear the preachers say
Don’t give up
just kneel and pray
But the Voice is so far away
I heed it not
so here I stay
Under the withering sky , I wait to die – I pray to Die
My nightmares be-come real to me, in the light of day
The Hopelessness of reality , seems to light my way
I’m lost and befuddled , so I wallow here in pain
Submerged in my troubles , my will has been drained
But I can hear the prophets say
The son has came
to light the way
But where is he on this day
He’s left me here
in misery
And on through the black pitch of night , I tremble in fright – I tremble in Fright
Breathing the night through me , I exhale only blame
Hiding from light , you see, it exposes all my shame
It’s cold and dark to me , always winter always night
I see Time as it withers thee , and all else in my Sight
And I can hear the priestess say
Don’t give up
just follow me
But through my eyes
she fades away
For Beauty , I can not see
And on through the starless night , I hide my eyes – I hide my Eyes
I cover my strangled eyes , with my palms of dying flesh
afraid to see our demise, my cursed sight still left unblessed
In my heart love can’t arise , my unclean wounds still too fresh
Whoever could hear my cries , an issue left unaddressed
I hear no more voices today
I’ve given up
I’ve turned away
And my epitaph will say
A bitter man
below does lay
And on through the dead of night , I close my eyes – I Close my eyes …
Kevin Beary – song circa 1988
