This wandering day
Wandering Souls: Embracing Unknown Journeys
Lyrics
The sun is fast fallin' beneath trees of stone
The sun is quickly setting behind trees made of stone.
The light in the tower, no longer my home
The light in the tower is no longer a place of residence for me.
Past eyes of pale fire, black sand for my bed
I pass by eyes that resemble pale fire, and black sand serves as my bed.
I trade all I've known for the unknown ahead
I am willing to exchange all I know for the uncertainties that lie ahead.
Call to me, call to me lands far away
There's a call summoning me to distant lands.
For I must now wander this wandering day
I must embark on a journey on this particular day of wandering.
Away I must wander this wandering day
I am compelled to wander away on this day of wandering.
Of drink I have little, and food I have less
I have scarce drink and even less food.
My strength tells me "No", but the path demands "Yes"
Despite my weakened state, the path demands that I proceed.
My legs are so short and the way is so long
My legs are short, and the journey is dauntingly long.
I've no rest nor comfort, no comfort but song
I have no respite or solace except for the solace found in song.
Sing to me, sing to me lands far away
There's an entreaty for songs from distant lands.
Oh, rise up and guide me this wandering day
Rise up and guide me on this day of wandering.
Please, promise to find me this wandering day
A plea to be found on this wandering day.
At last comes their answer through cold and through frost
Finally, an answer comes, despite the cold and frost.
That not all who wonder or wander are lost
The answer asserts that not everyone who wonders or wanders is lost.
No matter the sorrow, no matter the cost
Regardless of sorrow or cost, not all who wander are lost.
That not all who wonder or wander are lost
Reiteration that not all who wonder or wander are lost.
When the cold of winter comes
Describing the arrival of the cold winter.
Starless night will cover day
During the starless night, darkness will prevail over the day.
In the veiling of the sun
As the sun is veiled, we will walk in bitter rain.
We will walk in bitter rain
When the seas and mountains fall
In the dark, there's a call that I hear.
And we come to end of days
When we reach the end of days, I will go there and back again.
In the dark I hear a call
Calling me there I will go there and back again
