The purr of invention breaking 
      the ice
      
      Seduction cast from the lady of 
      night
      
      The loneliness beckons 
      prolonging my stay
      
      In a land that I’ve known but 
      nothing’s the same
      
       
      
      Darkness stalking envelopes the 
      fight
      
      Lifting away the cloud inside
      
      Escaping from the bonds held 
      tight
      
      Rolling along, enjoying the ride
      
       
      
      No struggle for progress to 
      enter my mind 
      
      My torturous troubles have 
      nowhere to hide
      
      Seemingly empty worlds to view
      
      Sorting the fragments and 
      gathering clues
      
       
      
      Darkness stalking envelopes the 
      fight
      
      Lifting away the cloud inside
      
      Escaping from the bonds held 
      tight
      
      Rolling along, enjoying the ride
      
       
      
      To what strange vessels shall I 
      make haste
      
      Souls carrying forward the 
      journey I’ve made
      
      Coarsened and callused from 
      rocks in the road
      
      Soon to be healed by the 
      comforts of home
      
       
      
      Darkness stalking envelopes the 
      fight
      
      Lifting away the cloud inside
      
      Escaping from the bonds held 
      tight
      
      Rolling along, enjoying the ride
      
       
      
      For now I bask in the glory of 
      king
      
      No one to challenge the rule of 
      serene
      
      A reign long lost in promised 
      land
      
      When masses delight in securing 
      the clan
      
       
      
      Darkness stalking envelopes the 
      fight
      
      Lifting away the cloud inside
      
      Escaping from the bonds held 
      tight
      
      Rolling along, enjoying the ride
      
       
      
      A misfit perhaps but a crier for 
      sure
      
      Brightens the path with 
      knowledge that’s learned
      
      Ahoy, the sadness of safety 
      draws near
      
      As security’s echo falls on my 
      ear
