Exodus
Down south I went
Lost in the sea of men
Around the last bend
My company was sent
Into valleys and hills
My company trekked
Lost without a map
Count on the moon and stars
Overcome beasts of air
Land
And sea
Not without a price entailed
Infinite time hidden
Boys become men
Children don’t exist
Life is near an end
My company was sent
Campaigned to conquer
Down south we went
Down south we stayed
