Analysis of 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
