Southbound
Journey Through Enmity: Ben Caplan's Southbound Tale
Lyrics
Waking up in a sea of enmity
Feeling surrounded by hostility upon waking up
Could this be my last recourse
Contemplating if this is the final option or chance
Will these men conspire to end me
Questioning if others are plotting to bring an end
Must I mount this feeble horse
Considering riding a weak or feeble horse
Ride into the southern distance
Embarking on a journey towards the southern horizon
Leave behind this live I've led
Leaving behind the current way of life
Shall I risk my my own existence
Contemplating risking one's own existence
O'er these words that must be said
Dealing with the necessity of expressing certain words
Southbound as the wind blows past me
Traveling southward with the wind
To the town I've left behind
Heading back to the town that was left behind
Will this plague of hate outlast me
Questioning if hatred will persist even after death
Will I find some peace of mind
Seeking peace of mind in the journey
On-wards cross the scorching sands
Moving onward across hot and desolate terrains
My sole companion left as dead
Having only memories as a companion, possibly lost
Now on foot in foreign lands
Continuing the journey on foot in unfamiliar lands
And still that price upon my head
Still facing danger with a bounty on one's head
The weeks cocoon, fly off as years
Time passing quickly, transitioning from weeks to years
And still I wander wondering
Wandering and reflecting on life's worth
Has my life been worth the tears
Questioning the significance of tears shed
And will my last breath mean a thing
Reflecting on the potential impact of the last breath
Southbound as the wind blows past me
Continuing the southward journey with the wind
To the town I've left behind
Returning to the town left in the past
Will this plague of hate outlast me
Wondering if the plague of hatred will endure
Will I find some peace of mind
Hoping to find peace of mind in the process
