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.
