Man Of Mystery

Wandering in a place
Within the realms of all my dreams
I heard a voice call out to me
Come sit with man of mystery
And listen to his themes

He wove an epic tale for me
Of strangers and strange lands
Of noble spirits true and free
Of quests to seek the rainbow's end
To seek fine destiny

Then came the death of innocence
In grey reality
The hero's path was crossed by love
Before he understood the word
Meant something more than need

And so descent to hellworlds
Populated by sad shades
Who live for dreams that comforted
But not the truth their souls wanted
Such lies can't set you free

So now I live within the light
Of peaceful harmony
Accepting where I once denied
The wisdom buried deep inside
This man of mystery
