I was but a man, a poor soldier, on a journey,
A journey through a dark and unforgiving world;
A world where every man and beast had to fight for survival
Survival of the fittest, the order of the day.
Never more could I take the pain,
Never more could I take the sorrow,
Alas! Where was the joy that I lacked?
Was I never to stumble upon happier times?
Everywhere I look, I see pain,
I see the pain of a thousand years.
The world, I learnt, is a cruel place,
I tried so hard to find solace there.
Respect and pride was what I wanted,
Fear and violence was how I got it,
Back then that was all I wanted,
Back then that was all I needed.
"All around me I hear people scream
Very nice :)
