Beyond the mist waits the dark forest
The unknown there lying in wait

And every step takes me further away
From the places that I have made

And every step now takes me closer
To the places that I fear and dread

And before me is flowing a river
Swift and yet quiet as death

Yet what lies beyond that cold river
Is the thing that I'm longing to see

And what lies beyond that dark river
Is the thing that I'm destined to be
