lyrics

Obscured advice, roam through the night,
Making my way there,
A hidden forge, my last resort,
Making my way there, my way there.

Refused at first, explain the curse,
I plead.
A shattered man, but she has a plan,
Alchemist rebuild me, rebuild me.

I'll lament no longer, steady my course, the salve sustains,
A failed frame can conquer, scream myself hoarse, break through the pain.

3 Miles eastwards, a snow topped cairn peaks high above the clouds,
You must scale it, on your lonesome,
The silver, awaits you there.

I'll lament no longer, steady my course, the salve sustains,
A failed frame can conquer, scream myself hoarse, break through the pain.
Know that this man still saunters,
Know that I'll ever wander.

And so, the alchemist did present her conditions of contract,
Meet her in one days’ time atop the eastern cairn's climax,
Alone and with a procurement of holy ore from within the munro,
She seemed pragmatic and yet capricious, he had no choice but to agree though.

These legs that offer no support,
And guts that always fall just short,
Wait for me there, my only hope,
Lighten this leaden host.

Know that this man still saunters,
Know that I'll ever wander.
