scene two

It was a call that pulled him
tugged at him, wanted him to leave the veil
leave the threshold and follow the trail
forsake the gales that troubled his home
start the journey into the tale that he would ultimately become, into the unknown

tales of paths and trails
thats lead to what will be
who can know what prevails
when the world comes off the rails
in time you will see

journeys start off in the most mundane of ways
sometimes because of troubled days
sometimes because of what it weighs
but more often than not, it's the cards you have to play as the world goes up in flames

and so it was done, the decision was made
he would do what destiny bade
his path was laid
across the world it would be
soon this world, he would see

Paths, there are so many of you
but you always snake your way
to a place where a debt is due
that never relents, always pursues
                              ...until it finds you

So he leaves his night time veil
to follow a forlorn trail
against the gales, and towards the wails
of a long lost humanity that derailed from the tracks because of the hacks who ultimately prevailed

The hacks stayed, never went away
There was no way they would go away
for how could they stay the hand of correction
How could they betray all to destruction
eradication, extermination, annihilation

When the end does greet us all
At the hands of those who hate
May the ones exempt from laws
Never arrive when too late
Lest the beasts fill their plates

That's when he noticed that something was wrong
As he traveled his certain path
There was wrath in the eyes of the foe
Ahead, in the line he had to go, you know
trouble standing straight ahead in the road
