The Ancient Path - Doomed

your influence has faded

ruined all your thoughts

i’ll never be yours

drowned in hate.

i’ll not wait

the greed made you blind

i’ll leave you behind

on fortune i’ll pass

your damn haughtiness

i’ll search the giant roots

until i’ve gon through my boots

i’ll follow the old

and forget what you’ve told

and if it takes a hundred years

and if i have to suffer a thousand torments

to conquer the highest mountains and deepest rivers

i’ll keep looking until i find him

the ancient path

the ancient path — way of the forebear

far from the wrath everything becomes clear

path

the truth i have found.

a dignified ground

but everything all that surrounds me

is marked from gaping wounds
