1.Where have you gone

The sun the moon

the clouds and stars

Where have they gone? Ohh so lost

The day is blood red

The night pitch black

I can't see a thing, where have you gone?

Not a plant in sight, no animals around

Only corpses scattered on the ground

I wear a mask 24/7

Clouds became black and stars don't even shine

Please don't waste your time

Don't let it come to this

Where have you gone?

Why did you let time slip

Save this life don't let it rot

All the planets decline you

No where to run

I'm lost, where have you gone

We're lost, where did you go?

Why did you leave and let us fade away?

Where have you gone?
