27 Years

You were the prophet in a foreign land

You were the idol to the dumb and blind

You were a legend and their sanctuary

You took no prisoners on your last crusade

And you've been searching all your life

You've been falling from the edge

And you've been searching for the truth

You've been searching on and on

Twenty-seven years -the hunger and the pain

Drowned in emptiness-the loss of innocence

Twenty-seven years- desperation everywhere

Twenty- seven years - your age of consequences

Twenty-seven

You gave the masses just what they want

You took their money and their credit-cards

But you couldn’t buy their souls and tears

So you killed yourself and faded away

And you've been searching all your life

You've been falling from the edge

And you've been searching for the truth

You've been searching on and on

Twenty-seven years - the hunger and the pain

Drowned in emptiness- the loss of innocence

Twenty - seven years - desperation everywhere

Twenty - seven years - your age of consequences
