Believing in This Song

Wrote this song in a war
When you hear it there will be more
Wrote this song in fading light
As the edges faded from sight

I hear them coming now
Wave after wave, breaking on down
There’s nothing that will last
Disaster is coming on thick and fast

You and I we’ve had our share
Filled our days up with worries and care
And I know somehow
All the best are behind us now

Wrote this song for myself
To keep me company when everything fell
Wrote this song for you
I believe you’ll be there too

Late in the day/late in the year

I’ve grown old
I’ve grown scared
And I can only change one of those

Nobody gets out of this world alive
What scares me is being alive when the world ends
I don’t want to live to see its end

Here in the abyss
