Sudden Life

Floating in the clouds, giving up the fight

A voice is calling out

I'm walking into the light

We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast

Feet that barely even touched the ground

We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world

The fury and the sunlight

A sun flickered, like a television set

Bright flashes of a warning sign

Vapid shadows in a world gone static

We're rolling away line by the fading line

Under water for years we were fine

Till we started to swim, then drown

The current takes us

Now we're walking into the light

Are you dying all your life?

Broken, beaten and tired of

You wanted to learn but don't know how

Diagnosis, sudden life!

Can no one revive me now?

Feels like I'm walking into the light

Woke up falling on a wave of golden sound

Tunnel vision and a great beyond

Heart beating like a rhythm slowing down

Now it's gone, I let go of a soul

A flat line and I'm closing down

Whisper a warm farewell, the flames all beckon me

As we're walking into the light

Are you dying all your life?

Broken, beaten, tired of

You wanted to learn but don't know how

Diagnosis, sudden life!

Can no one revive me now?

Feels like I'm walking into the light

Don't suppose that you know the way

Don't suppose that your care

I see lights up ahead

And hear cries of angels ringing in my ears

But you know that, had you a choice

You would go back and do it again

We all have unfinished business to tend

So, no I won't go gentle

Into the light, good night

You can keep your candle

I'm walking away from the light

Yeah, I'm walking away from the light

I'm walking away from the light

I'm walking away from the light

I'm walking away from the light

Diagnosis, sudden life!

I woke up my heart racing, I'm

At a loss explaining why

Are you dying all your life?

Now put your darkest days behind

Let life flash right before your eyes

And for very the first time, it feels like

I'm walking away from the light
