I have walked a thousand deserts. I have swam so many lakes. I have died in countless fires on a reel of ever blurring takes.
I have woken from a thousand dreams. And cried so many tears. I have kept on searching for my love throughout a million grief filled years.
I have been told that Truth sets free. But for it I have seen many good folk hung. And oft have sighed at a new war, that same old butcherer of the young.
Yet seldom have I been at peace. And only once did I give my heart away. For an oath, sworn in my troubled start, has caused the ghost of Hope to stay.
