And Now...

A few days from a new departure...
A few sunsets from the thrill of exploration...

An old fear strikes the hearts of men.
An old fear which constantly haunts.
An old fear soon to be released on this world.

Oh Earth Mother, why do you so burden your children?
Shall we keep on paying for the vile turns your life takes?

I will bring myself from the depths of any abyss.
I will bring my feet forward, with arms raised high.

Yet I cannot speak for my brothers...
Yet I cannot see in their hearts...
Yet I cannot say what happiness is for those who expect nothing...

And now...

Well... and now we wait...

Patiently, wisely...
An odyssey this is... an odyssey it will be...
One which I so unwillingly play...
