Exile Eternal

Far away from home

I roam these lands and distant shores

Damned - Forsaken - Banned - Cast out

A pariah of war

All I held so dear I had to burn and leave behind

A solitary man who's the run into exile

No - Never again I'll see the faces of my kin

But all their faces are engraved & locked so deep within

All I had so easily taken away from me

But no you'll never take away these treasured memories

I'm free - I'm free - Yes - I'm free

Forever banned into exile eternal - Exile eternal

Forever banned - Banned into exile

Come - Oh dreaded foe - Follow the trails of my escape

Send all your dogs of war

to catch my scent and seal my fate

I will not rest - I'll lead you beasts away into the wild

You may catch me - You'll hunt me down

but not my wife and child

Some they called me golden tongue

For I gave generously of my private means

I founded hospitals for the poor

A social being - Not a religious activist

I spoke out fearlessly against the custom of bowing

before their statues

For this defiance of authority I was banned into exile
