They Are Gone

He's rocking his chair

With nobody around him

He is in despair

Perhaps they've forgotten

So he waits with tears on his cheeks

Hoping they'll come see him for a while

Maybe they'll come... Will they all come?

He feels in the air

An angel around him

He'll pretend he's not there

Still hoping they'll come see him

Yet he has been fair with them

Why don't they come see him for a while

Maybe they're gone... Could they be gone?

He stands up off his chair

Though it's so hard for him

He's not ready to go yet

So the angel says to him

You have always been fair with them

You gotta follow me now and when they come

They'll say he's gone... Too late he's gone!

Why don't we get closer to the elders

Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper

So he stays there reliving his past

He stays there wondering why they won't come

He feels so forsaken!

Why don't we get closer to the elders

Knowing time won't stand still for the reaper

He stays there

Reliving his past

He stays there

Hoping for someone to talk with

He stays there

Asking why they wouldn't come

Too late

The angel has come

Sorry I'm gone

Yes I'm gone

So long I'm gone

Damned! He's gone!
