The Dead Decree: To Flee!

Along the winding path I take
At night I travel alone,
All through the night I solider on
Until I reach my home,
Through the blackness and the fog
I see what I must face,
The path that perished many before
Leaves behind a solemn trace,
The odds were dim and few
That I was to make it out alive,
But that same very thought drove me
Inspiring me to try,
Those are the words that I once thought
When beginning on my dangerous quest,
Until the day I stopped fighting
My heart ceasing to beat within my chest,
So see it now the way were bound
A link in life controlled by fate
I beg you sir to hear my words
Before it becomes far too late
I write this here for you good man
Whom I may never formally meet
For if you’re reading this here script
Tis true, I am deceased
My body rest inside a ditch
My flesh that peels away
Reveals my white and hollow bones
And there, they shall forever stay
Along the winding path you take
At night you travel alone
And through the night you solider on
Until you reach your home
Will and determination
Are what lead you straight to me
But now I say to turn back now
GO BACK! I do decree!
