Southbound

Waking up in a sea of enmity

Could this be my last recourse?

Will these men conspire to end me?

Must I mount this feeble horse?

Ride into the southern distance?

Leave behind this live I've led?

Shall I risk my my own existence

O'er these words that must be said

Southbound as the wind blows past me

To the town I've left behind

Will this plague of hate outlast me?

Will I find some peace of mind?

Onwards 'cross the scorching sands

My sole companion left as dead

Now on foot in foreign lands

And still that price upon my head

The weeks cocoon, fly off as years

And still I wander wondering

Has my life been worth the tears?

And will my last breath mean a thing?

Southbound as the wind blows past me

To the town I've left behind

Will this plague of hate outlast me?

Will I find some peace of mind?

Southbound as the wind blows past me

To the town I've left behind

Will this plague of hate outlast me?

Will I find some peace of mind?
