Too Long

For too long he has been gone
His mind has said, 'so long'
For too long he's pierced his veins
Sacrified his brain
A sickness in his veins...

Far too many dark chapters
Each one darker than the last
It's been harder all this year
Then any in the past
Then any in the past

~~~

For too long he has been lost
What's important has been tossed
For too long he has done wrong
How to cure him of this?
Oh, how to cure him of this?...

I have no power this endless night
To illuminate his light
Has it burnt out what once was bright
With no hope in sight?
But that can't be right

~~~

What the hell is going on?
He's lost it all, it's been too long
A demon sings a sickly song
Sayin', 'here's where he belongs'
But I know that is wrong...

Each new day all I pray
He finds his soul to lead his way
Up until now it has been gone
and it's been too long
It Has Been Too Long!
