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
