The Path Ahead

The time has come for me to journey
From the places I well know
So many sights I have yet to see
Deep inside myself I shall go

Leaving a world of angry eyes
Away from the constant woe
And all the betrayal and lies
Everything I have come to know

Good spirits, please guide me
For I am weary from long strife
A mysterious journey to set me free
From all the fears I have known in life

Leaving love, hate, friend or foe
And those who never held me dear
Upon this journey I shall go
As the path ahead is clear

Forgetting old intentions and goals
Feeling sharp words cut to the bone
Devourer of hearts and destroyer of souls
Sacrificing victims on your cold altar stone

I have naught to call me back
From a place where I would not die
As there is nothing that I lack
From the guile and straight face lie
