Empty Prophet

There was a time when I smiled

There was a face, face of a child

But now, all by myself

Can't you feel me? I'm crying for help

Empty prophets

With a one road to walk

Alone

I see an image, it beckons to me

An astral visit just won't let me be

But now, so strange it seems

I really can't feel you, you're only in dreams

Empty prophets

With strange paths to tread

Alone

My words are my blankets

I'm wrapped up in statements

'Til your name strips me bare

Here I stand worthless

No wise words or verses

Could give you a reason to care

There comes a time, a time to reflect

Come face to face with thoughts I reject

But now I must realize

That I'll never again touch you or look into your eyes

Empty prophets

With a one road to walk

Alone

No, I don't wanna be here all alone

These empty prophets

Lord, they won't let me be

Empty prophets

Keep me hanging on

No, I don't wanna be here all alone

Somebody help me
