The sigh of summer upon my return   Fifteen alike since I was here   Bathed in deep fog, blurring my trail   Snuffing the first morning rays      Weary from what might have been ages   Still calm with my mind at peace   Would I prosper or fall, drain the past   The lapse of the moment took it's turn      I was foul and tainted, devoid of faith   Wearing my death-mask at birth   The hands of God, decrepit and thin   Cold caress and then nothing   I was taken away from my plight   A treason bestowed to the crowd   Branded a jonah with fevered blood   Ungodly freak, defiler      Pale touch, writhing in the embers   Damp mud burning in my eyes   All the faces turned away   And all would sneer at my demise      Outcast with dogmas forged below   Seared and beaten, banished from where I was born   No mercy would help me on my way   In the pouring rain nothing is the same      Vows in ashes   I pledge myself to no-one   Seethed and spiteful   All shudder at the call of my name   If you'll bear with me   You'll fear of me      There is no forgiveness in these eyes   For any of you but one   Dispel the mist for now   Melinda is the reason why I've come      She is waterdrops over the pyre   A thistle in my hands   Stained and torn, aged and brown   Virtous shell with kindred innocense      I awoke from the miasma   Passing swiftly through the moor   This is here, waters stir   And in the distance all that was lost   If you'll bear with me   You'll fear of me   You'd never leave me to   A fate with you
