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
