Against The Wind

Here I stand at the banks

Where the river of time feeds the sea

Oh I delve into the vault

Of my mind, a memory

When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak

Paling crescent in the sky

Pouring down its fading beam

I stand here all alone

I came here on my own

To reignite the inner blaze

Against the wind

Against the grain

Open visor - arrows rain

I'm me and I do it my way

Don't you tell me what to be

Through my eyes you cannot see

I'm me and I'm going my way

Against the wind I'm going my way

I've been out for the grail they contest

With hubris and hate

I've seen scarily faceless things

Where they scream but never hear

Scraggy fingers, they scratch over maps

With all kingdoms displayed

The enticer never sleeps

Breathing doubt into your ear

I, I stand here all alone

I came here on my own

You will not take hold on my creed

Against the wind

Against the grain

Open visor - arrows rain

I'm me, I do it my way

Don't you tell me what to be

Through my eyes you cannot see

I am me and I'm going my way

Against the wind I'm going my way

And if you don't like what I do

Then it's not made for you

And if you get exasperated

With what I will or I may or I say - it's my way!

A thousand stars melt with the sea

Elysian fields reveal to me

This is the air I need to breathe, oh

Against the wind

Against the grain

Open visor - arrows rain

I am me and I do it my way

Don't you tell me what to be

Through my eyes you cannot see

I am me and I'm going my way

Against the wind I'm going my way
