NO TOMORROW

RYRAYNARD 1958 (uk)

NO SUNSHINE  ON  THE   HORIZON
NO  NEW   DAWN

DARK SKIES UPON  THE  SEAS
NO  GENTLE  BREEZE   TO  EASE THE  DAY

MY  MIND  IS  IMPRISONED AS  AM  I
TEARS OF  DESPERATION AND  DESPAIR

NO  REMEDY  OR  REPAIR

SURROUNDED BY UNFOUNDED  EXPRESSION
I  DRIFT  ENDLESSLY

NO  GLIMMER  OF  HOPE
ONLY  SADNESS  AND  SORROW

DRESSED  IN   IMMACULATE PURPLE  ROBES  OF  DISTRESS
I  BATHE  IN  A  POOL  OF  NO  TOMORROW

MY  TEARS   FLOW  SLOWLY
 LIFE  HAS  NO  DIRECTION
THERE  IS  DARKNESS  IN  MY   SOUL
SINS  ARE  UNFORGIVEN

MY  PRAYERS  GO  UNANSWERED
I  SEEK  REDEMPTION
EACH  HOUR  I  REPENT

VOICES  ECHO  LOUDLY  IN    MY  HEAD
