The most celibratory song about the futility of life and eventuality of death that you'll ever hear! And, it's not funny.
Evocative acoustic balladeer
Story behind the song
“So all the days of Methuselah amounted to nine hundred and sixty-nine years and he died” – Genesis 5:27
Obviously, human life is much shorter that it was originally meant to be.
I’m a tall, strong man. But, two years ago, as my wife’s frail and delicate aunt lay dying, there was nothing that even a tall, strong man could do to save her – to stay the hand of Death.
Life slips even a fist of iron…
…and there is no stay upon the dying of the light.
- Alan Kim Cochran
Lyrics
The Dying Of The Light
by Alan Kim Cochran
Life is but a wilting flower in the sun
Who can save you from yourself?
Grasp as you can, rage as you may
'Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
At the gates of hell, you'll have you say
'Yet there is no stay upon the dying of the light
You live your life, as if you had forever
And who can save you from yourself?
Grasp as you can, rage as you may
'Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
At the gates of hell, you'll have your say
Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
Nobles, serfs, and slaves... are sand upon the street
And, who can save you from yourself?
Grasp as you can, rage as you may
'Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
At the gates of hell, you'll have your say
Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
At the gates of hell, you'll have your say
Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
Grasp as you can, rage as you may
'Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
So, grasp as you can, rage as you may
'Yet, there is no stay upon the dying of the light
