Too Far Gone

Fresh from creation Clean at the slate They had no foresight Of the decisions that they made A brand new nation And a brand new state Lost in direction With no time to hesitate Take a step forward And then one further Can't stop what's moving To waste time reflecting The questions were answered So no need bother They'll all pay someday For the blindness of their father Their time dwindles As does their sons On to the next generation Until it's too far gone With questions brewing Under a new day's sun The thread is still tearing And there's no where to run The time's left ticking Yet to see relief The truth's set shambles Waiting to be released The honest are burning Cast blame to the chief Life is too far gone And none are in belief
