LYRICS

As the darkness that surrounds me
tightens its grip around my mind
I shall cling on to the memories
hoping they won't fade in time
I'll write songs and allegories
for those i left behind
Come what may

I'll always carry them with me
in heart and mind their presence be
They're in my thoughts and in my dreams
they are the air i breathe

My life was planned in detail
much like a well constructed maze
But with trapdoors and shortcuts
built on a lifetime of escapades
Then i lost the plan, the layout
yes i guess i lost my way
Come what may

I'll stay on course, the best i can
But should the wind choose and demand
To lead me onto distant shores
No matter how my heart implores

Take me home, let me rest my bones
I search to find some peace of mind
But the end seems out of range
Please, take me home from the great unknown
I have roamed and lingered here so long
How i wish the winds would change
and take me home

To all those that i love and cherish
To those i hold dear to my heart
Please forgive me as i falter on my way back home
To Ithaka
