Trying to avoid evil and follow the light

But these ghosts in my mind make it hard to see

Feeling so alone, so many friends lost in the night

And the love I once cherished has gone away from me

Please don’t approach me with yesterday’s task

I can’t take no more on this woeful day

I can’t carry more despite what the Pharaoh asks

Not with the northern wind coming over the bay

None of my foolish imaginary promises came to fruition

And I never really saw past your assortment of masks

Now I’m living in limbo with a sense of damnation

Lone wolf a-hunting without his wolfpack

I just need a break to figure things out

Don’t have to go to Spain, just gotta get away

Where the birds chirp happier than here about

Sip on some smoking hot coffee at a vibrant café

Wishing that there would be one more chance

To turn things around and mend the past

But the truth is there’s no more romance

The feelings once there went away too fast

As I sit here contemplating this ordeal

My feet hurt like they’ve walked a million miles

I never would have guessed I’d lose my appeal

But I’m somehow depraved of all sense and style

Wishing for the impossible since I was a kid

Never did wonders in dealing with the harsh truth

Life is a game of passion and play for those who have lived

For the rest of us, there’s always the Vermouth

When you hear of this destiny, do not be frightened

These things needed to happen, still they’re not the end

For still a man can rise up and become enlightened

This is merely the beginning of a new path my friend
