The Lonely Shadow of Fortune

I wander all alone in a deserted land
As I listen to a melancholic tune
Nothing is offered in this barren land
But the lonely shadow of fortune

I can see all the pain through the screaming ocean
As I ;listen to the sulking waves
Nothing is offered in the board less ocean
But the lonely shadow of fortune

Through the stillness of the lonely land
And the bitterness of the angry ocean
I can see everything this weary world offers
But it’s only me who can see 
It’s only me who tastes 
The lonely shadow of fortune
