Wanderer

He hears the whispering words of trees
"What is lost here will wander the darkness inside
A requiem, your only solace. An escape from that cursed, blinding light."

He left the saveness of home, hopeful of finding her, not wait to die alone
So long ago she was taken from him, An empty void to fill, a life now so grim
And countless hours lost to find that which he once held dear
An empty shell was left with nothing left to fear.

For years he wandered, but always wondered.

What will become of me? Still struck with disbelief
And why can no one see, She'll kill what's left of me.

A flash of lightning, awakens him from sleep
Another hopeless vision, of promises he'd keep
She's but a memory of clouded days gone by
A spectre of the past, a flicker in his eye.

With the falling of leaves, he heard the song of the winds
Quiet words falling on deaf ears, a hymn to the gods he does not wish to hear.

Let them come i will slay them all
Just to be with the love that was stolen
Sacrifice all i once thought important
Dreams have shifted, a feeling so foreign
He held no more desire for others
He fell prey to her eyes
Like the rivers so blue
To drown and be cursed, to be born anew.

He can hear the trees that speak softly.

"She is lost, forever you'll wander.

Who is this person you seek?
Is she not who you used to be?"

Now filled with the rage of a thousand men
He sets ablaze the forest, burning a truth that he cannot stand
You're filled with lies he speaks, I know what's been taken, My whole life was forsaken.

What have you done? The forest screams in agony
My words you dont believe, young wanderer consumned by your grief
I know she is out there i have see she was taken, who are you to stop me
She's not even real, that void that you feel is nothing more than blistering solitude.

He would never accept that he's broken
Escaping the words of the woods
He lacks a reflection in the waters so pure
And as he travels on roads so far from home
There is no reason to return
He lost his sanity along the way, to never return.

Danger lurks on roads less travelled, when you travel alone
He got caught in the webs of temptation, stuck in a neverending loop of frustration
A head full of wonders that he could explore, when he found that what he's searching for
He finally accepted the day that he died, that he was searching for something inside
Something inside that filled him with hate, left him to wander and pursue his fate
The passage of time turned the man into stone, his prayers not answered when he died alone.
