Pilgrimage

Behind these grey barren eyes
Withering heart decaying within
How I long for what I have lost
Flickering hope in a dying flame

There's nothing left to hold on to
I'm descending into despair
What seemed so real before is fading
An epiphany shattered my waking sleep

I am an empty shell
Human clockwork, disposable, replaceable
Servant of the instrument
Self-inflicted imprisonment

Through the veil above
Distant in the haze
Calling me homewards
Guidance of light

Behind these grey barren eyes
Withering heart decaying within
How I long for what I have lost
Flickering hope in a dying flame

I walk away
Not looking back
I walk
Every step I take clears my head
The winds keep blowing
My steps leave only time behind

Exhausted feet keep marching on
This spirit cannot rest for now
The guiding light still shines

Through countless freezing nights
I have walked
To see forgotten memories
Before my weary eyes

The shapes of the mountains intrigue me
The sound of the rivers remind me
My pilgrimage ends here

A calming sense of relief
I left my torment behind
Seduced by aurora's flare
Shun light upon my dying soul
I stand before my past
And I wonder why I did not leave before

Lifetime in solitude
Inside protecting walls
The answers were always there
Questions left unasked

Far down the path of life
There was a silver lining
But time is like a river's flow
Pouring into the ocean

A prisoner of a chosen faith unknowing

Journey to the end
Broken chains of emptiness
Weary, old and weak
With a beating heart

Reckon the prosperity you seek
Question the honesty of your goals
We're all heading towards the end
We shall make this journey worth

Make this journey worth
