Analysis of Gone astray



As day turns too night
and light slowly dies,
the conscious of mind fades away,
as you look for the light,
thats hidden within,
only time will tell, you must pray...
as darkness unfolds,
and the truth that it holds,
where have you gone, gone astray...
look for the light hidden within,
For as night turns too day,
the blackness of night,
in conscious of mind, fades away...
with the dawning light,
thats hidden within,
only time will tell,
you must pray...
for the truth youlle behold,
its your future you hold,
where have you gone,
gone astray...
