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
