Sojourns Songtext
von Iluvatar

Too many words these days have hollowed and turned our heads
Much like the false illusions that burned our minds into red
They borrow our dreams and pay us back with lies
So we set our course for fields untouched by hand
Burying our children down from morning into the night
Words could only tell a story two days wide

Could we have stumbled into fate?
And for us it′s a mystery
Our shadows showing up too late
Again, again

The gale had opened, our hearts were in his hands
The colors all flew away free and melted across the land
We started again a story two days wide
And we just stumbled into fate
And for them it's a mystery
Our story′s coming on too late
Again, again
So we set our sights alight and we called upon the final brigade
As our hungry horses tired our feet could feel the burning cascade


Could we hold ourselves together?
Could we land upon our feet now upright?
The trail was angry, cold and ruthless
Abandoning all we had to fight
This was the path we had graved
It was the crime that we laid
It was the vow we made
It was our life on this day

All out of reach, the gold slipped through our hands
Setting a course for emeralds in the sand
Taking a stone and folding it in silverWords falling parallel
And emptying out as such

Listen

Listen

In an effort to achieve
All we thought was right
Bookmarked in a chapter
Of leafless binding in white
Our tales told late at night

A path full of hope underscored
And full of destiny
Crowded our insides
To live within our dreams
And act on instinct alone
Believing our sons would come home


So I stumbled into town
To see what was the matter
Only to find a sea of disaster
With imaginary friends
And imaginary creatures

Constant would come to me and say to run
Before it's too late
Before it's too late
Before it′s too late
Before it′s too late
