A Lonely Passage

Stumbling through narrow paths

Afraid of what will come next

As the darkness closes in

I start to run

What have I done to deserve this

Neverending hunt?

I will never be able to return home

My existence is shattered

As I stop to gasp for air, I wonder

Wonder when my final call might come

And if it's really worth escaping from

I'm so tired

Between trees and stones

On stale paths, beneath my reality

It's like I lost the key to my mind

I can no longer control myself

No more running!

I will fight my demons right here

Dear child, through horrors

And fright you will fade

Fade to distant worlds

And distant lives

As you lose your suffering

There's nothing more to believe in

Your belief to this day has been life

Now my belief will fill

Your soul with death

I no longer run

I stand my ground and wait

I wait
