Time, precious time A pilgrimage defined A message sealed in gold Destined for the one who knows the king Eluding light among the shadows all around A secret messenger, a herald for the crown I leave this town Looking back at the lives in need of rescue Then forward to the sea The vast expanse Run the gauntlet to the harbor Slip a hand of pence to the shady Jack-tar We're headed into the night And with the wind May Poseidon's Fool reach land by light Guard these words I bear Guide my way for the Majesty One long night behind me Across the ocean Morning's new light, shows me roads less traveled And to the mythical Bridge of the Blind, obsidian lines A mirror for the sky, to watch its own eyes Wonder of old, wonder of ages Give me some time, grant me your favor now I shall serve you well somehow One foot forward and let it fall Reflections everywhere, no sight at all My eyes burning deep, but I must go on Time and luck gets me to a place Farther from my home, my home Follow the sound of northern thunder Through the trees and the weeds that rhyme Watching me as I roam, I roam Taunting me with these whispered songs Guard these words I bear Guide my way for the majesty A mission for the realm I have news of gravity Communication lines are alive today Moving information between the boundaries Far from sanctuary Daydreaming of peace Blackened stars Veiled sky Rival footsteps Make no sound I'm passing through the heart Of Assassin's Hollow No way around Walk this wall of fire The scent of my skin Unshrouds my position Sealed words above my head I fall from the light The blood of the King has called for me I am the Messenger On the move again, torches under eyes here Where are you, there's no escape By trade and trial I go, out of sight like ghosts These wasted fears, will never slow me down My place in time, to carry this on Not worried 'bout my dreams tonight Not worried 'bout the way that I must travel I dare to stay awake tonight In fear I'll miss the freedom knocking on my door Many miles away but closer than before
