Wayfaring Stranger

I've wandered far, across these hollow plains,

The weight of silence tangled in my veins.

I hear the winds, they whisper soft and low,

Their mournful tones, a truth I'll never know.

I'm just a shadow passing through,

With debts unpaid, and sins I can't undo.

If I could reach the other side,

Would I leave my shame or let it bide?

I'm just a shadow passing through,

With debts unpaid, and sins I can't undo.

If I could reach the other side,

Would I leave my shame or let it bide?

To those I loved, forgive the paths I strayed,

The promises I broke, the words I never gave.

Your faces haunt me, in every fleeting dream,

A ghost I've been, or so it seems.

But the road calls louder than my name,

Its cruel embrace, it pulls me to the flame.

I'm just a shadow passing through,

With debts unpaid, and sins I can't undo.

If I could reach the other side,

Would I find the peace I've been denied?
