Mother of Exiles

Is there a mother of exiles

Is there a father of truth

Is there a shepherd to take us

Through the darkness of youth

Are there words that bring salvation

Is there a sky that never falls

Is there a voice, which moves love

That knows the hollow of your calls

Is there light that sings your heart song

Is there hearts in ghosts that haunt

Do shadows ever whisper

As they die from the weight of want

Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin

Did I ever really need you

Or was it an illusion born of time

Will you fade from my memory

Could I recover my lost mind

Is this road never ending

From this life and beyond

Are we always somewhere sending

The signal moving on

And if love itself can't save us

What use the cry of man

If love itself can't save us

What is the master plan

The sky is always falling

My will is dying here

The voices always calling

Behind the waves of need and fear

Give up now surrender

What are you and where

Who are you deceiving

When you pretend to care

A night owl and a carcass

A widow and a snake

A fire burning nothing

Except the will to need and take

A fire reaching higher

It may even lick the sun

God can feel its heat now

As all his humans run

From desire to desire

From need to bleeding need

With mouths still opened skyward

The mother still must feed

Is there a mother of exiles

Is there a father of truth

Will anyone find her way home

Or to the heart and soul of youth
