*GHASP!* IE made a grammer mistake!

[Pakistexican88x]

or actually, could "Fade" be an command addressed to the reader/listener?

 

[Chester Desmond]

but then what is it that is fading from the body in the same way as the light in the eyes?

"you" (your soul) are fading from your lifeless body

an example of how I read the "grammar" in these lines:

As a monkey in heat
Rub on a stranger's pant leg
Howling as you hump him

This conversation reminds me of my childhood. My father was an English teacher with a Doctorate in Education. There were times when I left a note on the kitchen table to let my Dad know that I'd gone out and that I'd be home later. He would see the note after I'd left the house, and he'd actually check it over for spelling mistakes. He'd make corrections with his red pen, put a grade on my note, and tell me to rewrite it.

The word "Fades" would be grammatically correct in the context of this Into Eternity song. However, songs are poetry set in motion; and poetry tends to break the rules of proper grammar. I'd be inclined to cut the band some slack.
