He Left Ninety-Nine
There is a madness here, stuck in my brain
and these thoughts and feelings are driving me insane
held hostage of my thoughts, within these bitter walls
no escape, no where to run, dark, are these lonely halls
My Father in Heaven, you have taken away your light
it is among this madness I twist and turn and fight
you can help me now, to take it all away
but you have chosen to let me go astray
where have you gone, my Shephard, when will you come for me?
the way is lonely and frightning, among all the shadows I see
Please come back, Lord, here my voice crying out to you
I would never have left, if I had only knew
Is that you I see, there surrounded by a shimmer of light?
Is it you I see, having come after me, this long wretched night?
Is it you out there calling a name that is mine?
He's come, He's come to find me, He has left the other ninety-nine
