(n05) . the making of metals the clamor of horns the screams of the dying i want to go home . the shouts of attackers the **** of the earth they've poisoned the waters i have to go home . the world's fixed in shadow the mortals are stained the burning of temples i need to go home . i can't find the highway it's littered with blood a mountain's collapsing i search for my home . i wander in silence the walk through the dead the walls of my castle! i see home at last . before me a dragon it's spewing white roses i feed it with demons i've found my way home . i enter the castle there's nothing to see i must get my basket i must get my me . beside the blue waters a nymph clad in green "this for your taking" she hands me a dream . i waken in scarlet i've shed through the night i'm back in the castle i'm free from from old fights . a golden haired maiden on white marble throne she beckons me near her i'm glad i am home . i journeyed a long while i know i must rest i see golden duchess my head's on her breast . i've found my way home i needed my home i'm safe with the duchess i'm not all alone .
