The Gloom of Doom

Welcome to the dark side of the moon

where tomorrow never comes too soon

because you're always surronded by gloom

even when you're in a perfectly lit room.

Welcome to the dark side of the moon

where all you think about is your doom

so you turn to God to ask for a boon

and he says, 'Only if you sing to my tune...'

This is a place that escapes time and space

this is a place where you meekly hide your face

because it is the beginning of a very dark phase

and the sad bitter ending of those better days.

You wear your favourite dress of soft white lace

and cherish how your last piece of cake tastes

then silently walk with your empty suitcase

thinking, 'If only I had a few more days...'

Then He comes to you with a flashing smile

takes your hand while you're walking that green mile 

you flinch for you know he is truly vile

just waiting to enter your name into his file.

The final walk seems longer than The Great Nile

even the shadows have moved on the ancient Moondial

then at last when you reach the very top of the pile

He smiles and says, 'This is where you will lie...'
