The Whispering

Close your eyes and tell me what you find Don't you here the voices in your mind Where have all your lovers gone, the friends you thought you counted on Passed away like shadows lost with time I gave you all your life to make a choice From time to time I know you heard my voice It wasn't just for information, I desired your conversation All you did was drown me out with noise When I said go you wouldn't go I gave my hand but every time you never want to know And so you turned away, the seasons reached their end It took you all your days to keep me from your head The night grew dark your eyes grew black And soon there'll be no turning back again Are you swimming through a myriad Of spiritual decisions Are they whispering sweet nothing while they Drown you with derision Out of sight but in your mind They're calling out they're pulling you away Deep inside you know what's right But slowly you're believing what they say If they said go would you go Are you orbiting the rainbow do you live to be in trances Are you lost in paranoia did you take too many chances Parasites and soul-destroyers ready for your life to drift away Deep inside they steal your mind and slowly you're repeating what they say If they said go would you go When every country's gone to war every dream has hit the floor When every gene has split in two and every breath has poisoned you Only then you'll understand none of this is what I planned But giving you the right to choose meant some of you would have to lose When every lake is parched and dry when all pollution kills the sky When every soul has gone it's way and every heart is old and grey Maybe then you'll understand somewhere on your wounded land You heard my voice but chose to turn away --- The Whispering - Threshold
