The Wilderness

Agalloch

It was when I realized

that life has no meaning

no purpose, no quarry

...no answeres...



And all the dreary night

that had befallen across

the land

I slipped into a revery

a web of human hand



You longed to soar up high

to caress the silky winds

to embrace and kiss as lovers

...the ether...



but fate with cursed hand

has struck wretch apon your head

this wretch has been the day

you were born (human)



I live my life alone

and all it's misery

until the day I turn to stone

I shall die alone

among the wilderness



It was when I realized

apon my waking eyes

no nightmare of mankind

can harm me...



I live my life alone

among the wilderness

until the day i turn to stone

Life is but a dream

among the wilderness



...I spread my golden wings

set sail my weightless form

and soar into the cosmos

...Forevermore...
