Father!
I stand before you
I never asked much of you before
But now it seems I am at a loss
For what to do I just cannot see the path before me
I've never been a religious man
But I guess there comes a time
When a little bit of desperation
Reveals itself in kind
I never wanted to put my trust
Into something I could never see
I never had the faith, never had the will
To be just another poor lost sheep
But now we're standing on the brink
And there is no way out, I don't think
Our souls can survive this way
Don't you know, I live by science
Not simply my defiance
I've always lived by what I can see
Empirical testing was the way for me
But how do you scan for what's beyond the end?
It's something we were never made to comprehend
Oh why are we forsaken?
Damnit won't you answer me!
I never wanted to put my trust
Into something I could never see
I never had the faith, never had the will
To be just another poor lost sheep
But now we're standing on the brink
And there is no way out, I don't think
Our souls can survive this way
