2025 Competition Lyrics Entry:

Letter From A Million Years Past by Kevin O’Grady

Lyrics

Oh, I tried so hard,
I tried my best,
No-one could doubt me,
No-one ever loved you less,

No lovers voice,
I’m hearing just white noise,
Hearing the madness,
Of the pieces that were left,


All of the the words that we forget,
Now that I’m reading,
A Letter From A Million Years Past,
A Letter From A Million Years Past,


Oh, those emerald eyes,
That light up the dark,
Fighting the fire,
Fires that we start,

And words, never still,
Cold words that can kill,
Killing the spark, that
We thought would never die,


All of the the words that we forget,
Now that I’m reading,
A Letter From A Million Years Past,


Painting our own picture,
Painting it was fun,
Planning growing old,
With a ring of gold,
And kisses to last all summer long,

Promising adventure,
Promising the earth,
Blind to the warnings of a diamond in the rough,

The good days and the bad become one,
Your leaving, is the final Coup de Grace,


All of the the words that we forget,
Now that I’m reading,
A Letter From A Million Years Past,
A Letter From A Million Years Past,
A Letter From A Million Years Past.
