The Shadowed Road 歌词

If I could choose my way I’d never leave this place This forest dreams in greens and golds I’ll never see again But I hear the quiet call A portent drifting dark and cold For the road ahead is shadowed And there ruin waits untold But I will not turn away I roam this bloodstained road Through the mountain paths to the gates of bone I swear by the grey boundless sea One day I will return But my home is corrupted and all gods to fall The forest will burn So I’ll leave on the path I must take Crushing fate, I’ll never forget That hope is as dim as ghosts In the dens of their hosts I'll hold to it Beneath this crumbling world I saw A truth as dark as a thousand unseen winters Our doom was written in our souls But I will claim it as my own I once dreamed of a place Where all things of old stories dwell I longed for it, now I see That where there walk dreams Nightmares linger as well This is my road, through wandering shades For the promise I made Through hidden vales All the shapes that haunt us I will contend The road has burned my world away Did I think to come this far unchanged? But I feel a sense of clarity I’ve never known before That with death so close behind me I can see the bitter dawn Into the plains of ash I’ll leave the world that was behind Though I walk into the dark I walk at last with open eyes Behold my empire The ruinscape The broken bonds that held us I wonder how I came this far Through terrors dread The road won't destroy me I'll follow where it leads The truth is ever near Look into the dark If you will look into the dark Ever will I walk upon this shadowed road This ravaged path where phantoms roam For if all things must end I'd walk among the ashes of the dawning shadowed world
