Lyrics for The Lotus Eaters

Why is this happening to me? Why have I been forsaken? Nothing numbs the pain Any longer... please... I'm slipping away We fall into the spaces blind, the puzzle so unkind The lotus eaters fly We watch the random pattern form, insidious and cold And bloom into the unknown Please God why can't you hear us? Please God why aren't you listening? We take the hand of fate in vain, and wonder why your will Seems cruel controlled and illogical Do words fall on deaf ears, are we just too small? Please make us understand Please God why can't you hear us? Please God why aren't you listening? Please God why must we fear you? Please God why did you take her away? Please God why can't you hear us? Please God why aren't you listening? Please God why must we fear you? Please God why did you take her away? Are we your children? Are we lost?
