Into the dark

Into The Dark

Father of mine, one day you did die
But we’ll someday be behind
to follow you into the dark

Were your hands clasped tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark?
Was there blinding light?
And a tunnel to gates of white?

You and we have seen everything to see
From Charlottetown to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down

The time for sleep is now
It's something we cry about
But we'll see each other soon in the whitest of rooms

In Catholic school
As vicious as Roman rule
you got your knuckles bruised by a father in black
I’m sure you didn’t hold your tongue as he said
"Son fear is the heart of love"
And I know you had a hard time going back

But we know heaven will decide
That its rules are satisfied
We’ll all be together when we finish our last ride

What was there to greet you
When your soul embarked?
Someday we’ll know
As we follow you into the dark
You’ll show us our own way through the dark
