Suddenly my day became night Darkness killed the light And pat a knife through my heart Suddenly I heard a voice Somewhere inside of me I thought I heard it say "Don't turn away" Was I chasing a dream that was never to come Like an empty refrain or a sad, intoxicated drum Will this nightmare put an end to the road that I chose Or is this it... Is my story coming to a close suddenly? I'm on the wrong planet at the wrong time The winds of torment shattered every hope of mine This isn't my moon, no this isn't my sun And I'm still dancing to the beat of that invisible drum Is this it? Is my life really coming to a close so suddenly? Suddenly another voice This one gentle and clear "When you've finished the task I have given you there Come on home, you are welcome here"
