I was down and I found no need to live  Walked around with the moonlight guiding me  Met a man who was sitting by a tree  Went to him and asked him: "Won't you help me please!"    So the man looked up and stared at me  His eyes bore wisdom and relief  His lips didn't move as I heard him speak  What I heard I felt in me - "You're doomed eternally!"    "If you want to lift this curse of yours,  Leave your home and walk the distant woods,  See (the) Inferno and the Paradise,  See the beast and god with your own eyes."    "Where to go and whom to ask", I screamed -  Wrung my hands in hate and agony -  "I'm alone no one's here to follow me!  I'm scared and lonely - and I'm doomed eternally!"    But the man just looked away and smiled  As he slowly faded before my eyes,  Left alone but with an aim to live  Went the moon to follow as a guide to my release.
