Close the Casket

Lyrics

[Verse 1] These times try hard to drag me down But where I've been, I've learned to abound Well, if I fall, that's not all For the love above has answered my call, yeah [Verse 2] My body shows age beyond its years And underneath these scars are a billion tears Through the eye of a needle that I've passed through By the love above that never withdrew [Chorus] The black passed away, now my night is day I close the casket on the old man's ways And now I see through the eyes that were blind And close the casket as the old man dies, yeah [Bridge] Been so far and been so near High as the sun and dead to fear But glitter ain't gold in every dream And the choice you make breathes eternally [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] Black passed away, now my night is day I close the casket on the old man's ways And now I see through the eyes that were blind And close the casket as the old man dies
