How Long Will Be Too Long

Tell me, how long

Will we grovel at the feet of wealth and power?

Tell me, how long will we bow down to that golden calf?

Tell me now

(How long will be too long?)

Tell me, how long

Will we curtsy to the whims of new religion?

Oh, how long will we water down the truth

'Til truth is no more?

(How long will be too long?)

The power of faith and love

Can change the stuff we're made of

But still we wait, tell me

(How long will be too long?)

Tell me, how long

Will we drink from the chalice of indifference?

Neither be hot or be cold

Can a sober soul know

(How long will be too long?)

Too long

Is there not more to us

Than cursed dust to dust?

(Oh, no)

Oh, I feel my hope fading

(How long will be too long?)

(How long will be too long?)

Tell me, how long

Will we travel from the ways that God intended?

Won't it all tumble down

If His holy wrath comes?

(How long will be too long?)

Too long

The power of faith and love

Can change the stuff we're made of

Oh, when will it be too late?

(How long will be too long?)

How long will be too long?

(How long will be too long?)

So, so, so, so long

(How long will be too long?)

(How long will be too long?)

(How long will be too long?)

(How long will be too long?)

(Tell me, somebody)

(How long will be?)
