The Final Journey - Part III

Over the waves, across the seas, I sail forever on
The frozen waves beneath me, my homeland is now gone
I reach the shore to where it's best, and climb down from my ship
I face the land before me, as the northern winds whip
To foreign lands I have come, to seek my fortune and fame
Now I'm here, no turning back through the way I came
The frozen snow beneath my feet, a darkened sky above
I hope to return once again with the ones I love
[Chorus 1]
It is time to start my quest
To heed the call, no time for rest
I walk along the frozen shore
And journey on forevermore
I left behind my wasted life
No more troubled by daily strife
This path I've taken all alone
Ventured into the vast unknown

I wander through forests so frozen and grim
Through valleys so dark, under skies so dim
I set a fire to keep myself warm
Though it is no use through this storm
From the trees I hear a moan
As I wait in darkness all alone
I see a flash of sharpened steel
A mortal foe, my sword I wield
I block his blow and counter back
and strike from above with my strongest attack
As he dies, eyes glowing with hate he says
“Go back now, before it's too late”
Puzzled, I stare as he drifts into death
Trying to figure out what he had meant
As I look ahead, I see
A thousand eyes staring at me
[Chorus 2]
It is time to start my quest
To heed the call, no time for rest
I walk along the frozen shore
And journey on forevermore
Lying in wait, a trap has been sprung
A flying arrow pierces my lung
I came here all for nothing but greed
And now I lie here left to bleed
[Interlude]
I came here looking for fortune and fame
Now I'll never return again
As I say my final goodbyes
I lay alone, and now I die
