Amen Omen

What started as a whisper
slowly turned in to a scream
Searching for an answer
where the question is unseen
I don't know where you came from
and I don't know where you've gone
Old friends become old strangers
between the darkness and the dawn

Amen, omen
Will I see your face again?
Amen, omen
Can I find the place within
to live my life without you?

I still hear you saying
"All of life is a chance
And is sweetest when at a glance"
But I live a hundred
lifetimes in a day
But I die a little
in every breath I take

Amen, omen
Will I see your face again?
Amen, omen
Can I find the place within
to live my life without you?

I listen to a whisper
slowly drift away
Silence is the loudest
parting word you never say
I put your world
into my veins
Now a voiceless sympathy
is all that remains

Amen, omen
Will I see your face again?
Amen, omen
Can I find the place within
to live my life without you?
