I would love for William Shatner to cover this song. Wouldn't you? Can you hear it?
Lyrics:
I have seen the end of the skies
I don't mean they fell or they burned
I just saw where they stopped and there was no more
I have seen the end of the skies
I saw so many colors there
Colors that I had never known
It gave me a chill as I tried to keep still
I saw so many colors there
I touched a door painted red
A man came through dressed in black
The words that he said found an echo in my head
I touched a door painted red
I beheld a gate made of gold
but not like the one in the book
kinda twisted and cruel, as I tried to look through
I beheld a gate made of gold
instrumental
It's got something to do with being sad
And I only saw it when I was alone
If you see it with a friend it won't really be the end
It's got something to do with being sad
I thought about the things that I love
Once I saw the end of the skies
And I just turned around for the long walk back
I thought about the things that I love
Yes, I have seen the end of the skies
But I bet you'll have to find it for yourself
It's so hard to describe to innocent eyes
I have seen the end of the skies
