The Neverending Song

I’m in the middle of a furnace and I'm frozen to the bone This wasn’t what was promised; never felt this so alone! I’ve inherited a kingdom from a corpse upon a throne this wasn’t what was promised; is this the way I must atone? I’m holed up in a castle trebuchet approach the walls; this wasn’t what was promised; can’t take those fiery balls! I’m lookin’ into the future but I don’t seem to be around- don’t make any plans or promises; soon we’ll meet underground I’ve got a candle in a darkened room but no means to light it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I’m clinging to a capsize without the strength to right it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I’m stalked by an Un-named beast – don’t know if I can fight it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I’m offered a sweet sweet apple but I know I shouldn’t bite it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told There’s a poem that says much more than its words no-one can ever write it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I’m sailing 'round an island of hope without the eyes to sight it this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I’m facing demons in a labyrinth without the faith to smite’em this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told I turn my eyes from a luring minx though I know it’d be delightful this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told Wanderin' lost in the Garden of Soul and it’s never once been insightful this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told Standing naked in a blizzard and my skin is boiling somethin’ frightful this wasn’t what was promised this is not what I was told
