Traveller Lyrics

A distant flicker in the night

A dying star that births new light

The weary traveller looks behind him

A world once luscious, now destroyed

And still he stares into the void

His hope that someday someone finds him

Alone, onwards he rolls

Into the dark

Nightmares persist in his waking sleep

No sense of time

Days become years

His only solace, the faith that he keeps

A thousand years or more have passed

Each one longer than the last

The dwelling sailing unencumbered

His mind, once racing, now it slows

And deep within the traveller knows

He'll never waken from his slumber

Alone, onwards he rolls

Into the dark

Nightmares persist in his waking sleep

No sense of time

Days become years

Searching for solace

On and on

Knowing forever that he is the last one to live

All alone

Awake in a nightmare he dreams as he longs for death

The days to turn to years

As the decades and centuries fade

Species evolve

As the traveller revolves in his cage

Alone, onwards he rolls

Into the dark

Nightmares persist in his waking sleep

No sense of time

Days become years

He finds no solace
