Forsaken  -  Slechtvalk

My  mind  is  filled  with  visions  of  death.

I've  abandoned  them  to  their  doom.

I've  fled  the  battlefield  at  the  sign  of  defeat.

What  will  become  of  me?

We've  walked  into  a  trap,  blinded  by  our  pride

All  the  brothers  I  have  known  died  at  my  side.

And  now  I  hide.

I  don't  know  whom  I  fear  most.

Our  enemy,  or  my  father  the  King.

I  dare  not  face  him  again.

What  will  become  of  me?

Too  lost  in  my  own  sorrow  

I  didn't  notice  the  changing  surroundings.

Can't  remember  how  I  got  here,  I  think  I  have  lost  my  way.

I  have  been  led  astray  from  the  path  that  I  was  following.

The  sorry  state  I  am  in,  it  feels  so  unreal.

I  fear  that  the  final  victory  will  not  be  mine.

This  burden  causes  my  feet  to  stumble

Like  I  am  walking  to  my  grave.

I  wonder  if  I'll  ever  find  my  way  back  home  again?

Will  I  live  to  see  my  children  become  better  men?

The  bitter  tears  I've  she'd  have  clouded  my  vision

All  I  see  is  darkness  

And  death  on  the  path  that  lies  before  me.

I  would  cut  out  my  eyes  if  that  would  make  it  all  go  away.

But  I  think  this  sorrow  is  mine  to  bear  until  the  day  I  die.

Forsaken  in  this  hostile  land

Broken  to  the  core

This  sorrow  is  mine

Until  the  day  I  die!  

I've  long  searched  for  death,  

But  couldn't  find  it,  save  by  my  own  hand.

But  my  pride  stays  my  hand  

I  will  go  on  as  long  as  I  can

Though  my  heart  yearns  for  hope

I'm  blinded  by  my  stubbornness

I  fail  to  see  my  own  path  leads  to  emptiness

Torn  by  guilt,  broken  to  the  core    

Don't  I  deserve  more?

I  should  have  followed  your  rule,  oh  father,  

I  feel  like  a  fool.
