Midnight Bardo from DOOMSCRAWLING by Marcus Gibbon

The other side of midnight
Long before the dawn
Somehow the world ended
And you lived on
Look into the mirror
There are no words to say
The other side of midnight
Is just another day

Ashes of a body
Ashes of a town
Ashes of a people
Ashes all around
How can you tell a story
That rings true
About what will pass on
From me and from you

The other side of midnight
Long before the dawn
Somehow the world ended
And we lived on
Argue with the mirror
Then turn your face away
The other side of midnight
Is just another day

I saw my generation
Fail before my eyes
We did not come together
It was no surprise
How could we not know
We were so wrong
It is so shameful
Just to live on

The other side of midnight
Long before the dawn
Every time the world ended
And we all lived on
Look into the mirror
What could anyone say
The other side of midnight
Is just another day
