The Final Journey

Oh I see your tears
I'm glad but can't rejoice
I also feel your fear
Deep in your shaky voice

Where is your confidence
You're melting pretty fast
You ain't putting up any defence
Just broken and downcast

There is so much I want to do
But first listen to my song
Which I will now sing to you
And tell me where I was wrong

"A Maiden told a Traveller
That if he could only stay
They'll spend their lives together
For now till endless days

The Traveller changed his mind
Affection replaced adventure
For beauty made him blind
Charmed by her alluring stature

But many years passed
The Traveller decreased in splendour
He became so despised
Like a terrible odour

The Maiden broke her vow
Abandoned her empty lover
Her conscience was devoured
By her lust for another

Together they eloped
Leaving the Traveller behind
In a land that's not his own
In his race against time

To think of what to do
To either go forth or back
Thus far his life was screwed
He's finally off his track

But life was so kind
He came back stronger now
With one mission on his mind
To hunt his lover down

He travelled land and sea
All nooks and crannies sacked
Suffered tremendously
Just so his plot is hatched

Just as he was about to quit
To forget but not forgive
He saw his lover with
Her lover where they lived"

Now you've heard my song
Hope you followed the story
Now is the Traveller's turn
To savour his moment of glory

But then I can't be selfish
We're all together in this
As one big family
Our deeds will end in peace

I've been filled with anger
Tonight it'll all be over
There are three bullets in the chamber
For me,you and your lover
