Brave Soul
The beginning
Brave soul,
Why wander here?
What answers do you seek?
Your road is long
Your burden strong
Your courage bleeds so weak.
...
This path is dark
This life is cursed
Turn back!
Take all which you hold dear
For freedom lies
In grace alone
Not roads you've paved in fear
...
You stumble on
Your head so low
The grief within you cries
Turn back! Turn back!
This restless quest
Has stirred the blackened skies.
...
Your stubborn heart
It begs for peace
You crave the healing hand
Your wounded mind
Crawls feebly on
A prisoner by demand.
...
Oh Brave Soul,
Caught within this road
As darkness closes in
Your hand upon the walking rod
Your conscience on your sin.
...
Why do you seek forgiveness?
Like flowers on the vine
You wish your guilt to wither
Absolve your wasted time.
...
I cannot guide you further
This path shall mark your end
For travellers here
Do not return
Their costly souls to spend.
...
Lost Soul,
This is the broken valley
Your saviour is not here
You do not fear this evil
Though death has crept so near.
...
Why is it that you wander?
What answers do you seek?
For the keys of all eternal
Were not gifted to the meek.
...
This is the place of swift decay
The doors which lead to Judgement Day
The final ground
The battleplan
The curse on which The Ages span.
...
Brave Soul,
Why wander here?
What answers do you seek?
Your road is long
Your burdens strong
Your courage bleeds so weak.
