A Wayfarer's TaleHear me now, my tale to be toldOf dreams of greed and sins of old The tide breaks calm and closes in The sails catch wind, my tale begins Journey out to sea, lust and greed follow me Ride the path to shame, winds of deceit call my name Shipwreck of centuries old, festival of long dead gold Innocents not long on life, but long to die for my pleasure Ahead lies the monstrosity, unveiled in glory for me to see So sad a fate so many should die, but no more deserved for one such as I Footstep through the dread, torn limbs and flesh now shred Gather together the jewels from this ship of fools As I turn to flee, mangled hands reach for me The dead now rise at last to protect identity with the past More lost souls rise from the depths of the sea and surround me on the shore Gamble your soul for this chest of gold or dwell with us now and forever more I grab for life, I run for gold The wind is with me, the sails take hold I am the man who cheated death With newfound wealth and tainted breath I hear the limbs scrape below Life breaks surface with death in tow Now I've learned too late to see I dwell below for now and eternity |
