Intro
Meet me where the mountains mind the meadow
Find me in the footprints no one follow
Share me in the sunshine and the shadows
Gather in the woods that once were gallows
Verse 1
You’ve come for a story
I’ve got quite a few
Some that are ancient while others are new
I’ve hunted the darkness
I’ve held to the light
The things that I’ve seen make me question my sight
I’ve clung to a cliff side
I've crossed on the sea
Broken the stronghold of lies and deceit
I navigate nightmares
Dodge death and disease
But terrors far worse dwell in people that you meet
Verse 2
If life is a Big Top
We’re on the stage
Some tame the lions
Some live in the cage
Don’t be so quick now to get up and go
From what I’ve seen it’s a hell of a show
Time is an arrow
See how it flies
Fun for the hunter
But cruel for the prize
There’s no escaping
Make no mistake
All that you leave behind is a name
Ending
Oh, secrets and soundscapes are where I roam
I’ve yet find a place to call my home
Adventure beckons like a beacon flame
Stand in the silence ‘till it calls my name
I don’t want to stay the same
I don’t want to stay the same
I don’t want to stay the same
