Faithless

My soul has been emptied.
My faith has run dry.
I have no compassion left in me anymore.
My will has been broken.
No more strength to succeed.
My body’s so drained now, right to the core.
Oh! Lord won’t you help me, to see the light?
The stars are so dim here and nothing seems right.
You’ve numbed all my senses.
I have nothing left to give.
My heart is so aching. Now why should I live?
It’s all right for you, Lord!
You’re up there, and I’m down here.
My world is so hazy and my thoughts so unclear.
How can I tell now, between the truth and the lies?
When my heart is so broken, and my mind.’ Paralyzed’.
You’ve taken everything I was and all I hoped to be.
A faceless figure and lifeless soul, is all that’s left of me.
I’m a compass with no needle. Where do I go from here?
Will I go north to ‘Heavens gate’? Or south to ‘Satan’s lair’?
I need to see a sign Lord. Showing me the way.
I need some sense of direction and guidance, lest I stray.
