The Final Journey - Part III

Over the waves, across the seas, I sail forever on

The frozen waves beneath me, my homeland is now gone

I reach the shore to where it's best, and climb down from my ship

I face the land before me, as the northern winds whip

To foreign lands I have come, to seek my fortune and fame

Now I'm here, no turning back through the way I came

The frozen snow beneath my feet, a darkened sky above

I hope to return once again with the ones I love

[Chorus 1]

It is time to start my quest

To heed the call, no time for rest

I walk along the frozen shore

And journey on forevermore

I left behind my wasted life

No more troubled by daily strife

This path I've taken all alone

Ventured into the vast unknown

I wander through forests so frozen and grim

Through valleys so dark, under skies so dim

I set a fire to keep myself warm

Though it is no use through this storm

From the trees I hear a moan

As I wait in darkness all alone

I see a flash of sharpened steel

A mortal foe, my sword I wield

I block his blow and counter back

and strike from above with my strongest attack

As he dies, eyes glowing with hate he says

“Go back now, before it's too late”

Puzzled, I stare as he drifts into death

Trying to figure out what he had meant

As I look ahead, I see

A thousand eyes staring at me

[Chorus 2]

It is time to start my quest

To heed the call, no time for rest

I walk along the frozen shore

And journey on forevermore

Lying in wait, a trap has been sprung

A flying arrow pierces my lung

I came here all for nothing but greed

And now I lie here left to bleed

[Interlude]

I came here looking for fortune and fame

Now I'll never return again

As I say my final goodbyes

I lay alone, and now I die
