Lyrics
The Wanderer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Song of the siren, brings me no joy
Caress of a maiden, leaves me hollow
And the night slowly turns
Towards the daybreak
This crown on my forehead feels like a burden
These golden pendants, now weigh down my neck
And the wine in my mouth
Will taste like ashes
And still, I roam
With broken knees, I wander
And still, I roam (on and on)
'Til the end of days
I sold my poor soul, to unfold the secrets
I lost my poor soul, to possess the riches
And still, I craved for more and more
To satisfy my hunger
I'm doomed to wander the earth
Cursed to roam these lands
Until the heavens die
'Til the seven seas will boil
I'm doomed to wander the earth (on and on)
Cursed to roam these lands
Until the sun has waned
'Til I find my wretched soul
Everyone I've ever loved is long since gone
Cruel are the years that pass
On this forlorn road
I hear the pale rider scoffing at my throes
For death will never touch me
No redemption 'til I find my blackened soul
For death will never touch me
For death will never touch me (death won't take me)
For death will never touch me
For death will never touch me (death won't take me)
(Death won't take me)
Until I find my poor soul
Until I find my poor soul (death won't take me)
Until I find my poor soul
Until I find my poor soul (death won't take me)
Until I find my poor soul
Until I find my poor soul (death won't take me)
Until I find my poor soul (death won't take me)
