The Journey of the Hero

I saw my soul beside me, getting out of my way
There wasn't more before me, in the present day
You came along from nowhere, through the broken skies
I know I can't control this story, can I trust your eyes

And I know
That I cannot stay
And I know
There's no other way
My home I'll
Never see again
A childhood memory I recall
Will this be my end

And as I close my eyes, I can hear your voice
I won't be fooled by your song, as I mourn my choice
Throughout my pain and misery, you just laughed and lied
My mind is now the helpless victim, in the guise you hide

And you knew
That it would be me
And you knew
My fog of mystery
Running I'm
In the darkest night
Corrupted by these unknown horrors
What is wrong from right

And I'm on my way
It's not another day

I need your mighty hand
To carry me through this void
My sleep it sinks me
The pain and fear of your face
My tainted blood
How can I trust myself now
To carry on

And I'm on my way
It's my price to pay

I'm almost there
The legends have been all true
Why would it be me
Pride's rushing in with my vain
The trials I've failed
The dying screams I've foreseen
Behind your veil

It is mine to bear
I can't remember
My mind is lost in the clouds
The light is dim in my eyes
How can I ever survive
When can I ever be free again
No

And as I lie there sleeping, my back's against the wall
And as you sit there weeping, was it my tragic fall
