.
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
.
