DESEGRADATION DAY (CELEBRATE THE DARKNESS) written by Sheldon Manoo (1999)

The sun burnt out today

And the stars have withered away

The ozone layer has been permeated

The horizon barriers have been infiltrated

(BASS SOLO)

The only light that we see now

Is the light inside our head

Because by this time tomorrow

The moon,  shall,  be dead

(KEYBOARD ORGAN SOLO)

It’s time to celebrate the darkness

Celebrate the life we got left

Celebrate before we fade away

For nothing in our power can save D day

Heard my child crying this morning

Saying Daddy! Daddy! I’m afraid of the dark

As I held that child I didn’t know what else to do

Tried to flick a lighter but it couldn’t spark

(ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO)

If the world is gonna be dark near the end of time

The only hope we got is the peace we find

And it’s time!

It’s time!

It’s time to celebrate the darkness

Celebrate the life we got left

Celebrate before we fade away

For nothing in our power can save D day

(DRUM SOLO)

It’s time to celebrate the darkness

Celebrate the life we got left

Celebrate before we fade away

For nothing in our power can save D day

We can’t save D Day

So we’re gonna play

To enlighten our soul

Bring joy to the world

(STEEL DRUM SOLO)

(FLUTE SOLO)

(VIOLIN SOLO)

(BANJO SOLO)

Yeah it’s time to celebrate the darkness

Celebrate the life we got left

Celebrate before we fade away

For nothing in our power can save D day

The sun burnt out today

All light is fading away

So let’s celebrate the darkness. {Stop Music}

(Acoustic/Classical Guitar solo)
