The Well Of Might

So the days went by

And only the wind and the rain

were my companions

A lot of stones laid on my path

to the palace of snow

and the king of fire...

Majestic hights with flaming banners

So giantly the king seemed to be forever lost

A chilling audience for a man of noone

Kneel to the king and his endless melting throne

Under his crown a million creatures crawled

A twisted tongue for a gesture of kindness

Each glimpse made them turn to stone

Their eyes like snow long for blindness

...so long in blindness

For there is no way to change their chosen lot

No chain of steel could bind them more

My well of might is your well of sorrow

give me your sight and leave behind tomorrow

My son, he said, it`s better to reign in hell

(Live`s a path of sorrow)

Than to serve in heaven

Woe betide him and his bleak eyes

Words of truth from a head full of lies

So my quest took me onward to a brighter way

I wouldn`t rest here for frozen tears nor melting fears
