Endless Journey: A Tale of Lost Love and Inner Struggle
Lyrics
I set out on an endless journey
I embarked on an unending journey
Not knowing where the road ahead would lead
Without knowledge of the destination ahead
The path at my feet stretched out before me
The path lay in front of me
A promise to heal my bitter memory
A commitment to alleviate painful memories
I knew that my walk would not be easy
Aware that the journey would be challenging
Had it ever been since the day that I was born?
Has life ever been easy since my birth?
But my feet did not stay or stray or tarry
My feet pressed forward without hesitation
I steeled myself and grimly started forth
I prepared myself and resolutely moved ahead
And I walked on, through the clinging fields
Progressing through difficult circumstances
Away from where I buried all my dreams
Away from the place where dreams were buried
Where I know love was lost and squandered
Recognizing love lost and wasted
I walked on with no hope of finding peace
Moving forward without hope for peace
I continued on my endless journey
Continuing the endless journey
The cruel cold cutting to my aching bones
Enduring harsh cold that penetrates the bones
I looked through the swirling snows before me
Searching through snow with no reason to turn back
But saw nothing to make me turn and go back home
No sight compelling a return home
And I walked on, far from the callous halls
Advancing far from indifferent environments
Where faith seems just a lie that I can tell
Where faith appears as a deceptive tale
Where I know love was lost and squandered
Acknowledging love lost and wasted
Wasted by a man in a nameless shell
Wasted by an anonymous and indifferent individual
This road is not the one I wanted to go down
Regretting the undesired path taken
But it's too late to turn aside
Realizing it's too late to change course
On my own now, there's an emptiness that haunts my every step
Alone now, haunted by an inner emptiness
I don't care what the strong pretend
Disregarding the façade of strength
I'm not scared, I'm terrified
Not experiencing fear, but intense terror
