It's getting darker now
The evening light will not allow
Summer wind, growing cold
I'm passing by despondent's slough
And I hear the warning cries
The midnight sun, it mystifies
Moving on, adjust my pack
Take a look at turning back
Dip a foot into the slough
There's no way I would trust it now
What is that just up ahead
A figure looms like the walking dead
I am nothing more than a friend
You're nearing the end
You should listen to me
Who told you you should venture in black?
You'll never get back
You should listen to me
♪
You, my son, are laughable
Do you think you're untouchable?
Your father was a sad one too
He never made it back to you
I am now your trusted friend
Stick with me until the end
I am nothing more than a friend
You're nearing the end
You should listen to me
Listen to me, brother
Forget about this calling you've got
It's all in your head
You should listen to me
I am nothing more than a friend
You're nearing the end
You should listen to me
Who told you you should venture in black?
You'll never get back
You should listen to me
♪
I'd turn back if I were you
'Cause you're all alone now
And nobody loves you
There's nothing else that you can do
It's a dangerous world
And nobody loves you
The summer's melting in the dew
You'd better go home now
You know that you want to
'Cause I'd turn back if I were you
So the young man in a hurry
Got discouraged in his mind
Sometimes it's easy
Our vision leaves us blind
Just a few thoughts of negativity
Leave us resigned
Then I watched another traveler
Come upon the scene
He said his name was Faithful
He'd seen him in a dream
He said, "Come on, let's get out of here now"
And they split the scene
They went on with the dream
Oh yeah!
