My Army
I can't take you with me on my journey so far,
I must retrace my footsteps,
That I left so mored.
Long ago before your love I had known
I walked a path all alone. So...
Please be patient and wait for me,
I need to form an army within me.
With me they will travel,
Where ever I lead
Belief in me is all they can see.
I'll chose them all, one by one
We'll stand together so all can see
I'll hear my enemies as they call my name
Begging for forgiveness
For their priceless games.
Why you ask must I leave?
For on my jounery you can't reach me
A mystery to you it must remain
Why at times I leave you knowing only my name.
Please be patient and wait for me
Give me time to form
An army within me.
I'll be back soon
But when I don't know
There's so many diffenent roads I must go
I'll travel them deep
But I must move slow
Retracing my footprints of long ago.
Cry they will,
But revenge finally mine
Their cries of pain
Never piercing my brain
Lost of all feelings
My army and I
Drove from a force
From deep inside.
I'll lead them with wisdom
Each step we take
Onward we'll go
Parting all gates.
I must return now to the sane of mind
One more battle I've won
Through my journey of time.
You can not come with me
When I go
For this part of me
You do not know.
Just please be waiting
At my journeys' end
Please offer your hand
And be my friend.
