Went

Awakened by fire and blade
Our night has been betrayed
Arise, take your sword
We must fight of this horde
Or you shall never see the new day

I fight with steel at my side
Many around me have died
Many foes stand before me
And my strength starts to fade
I must run if I want to survive

We kill and kill, it never ends
To escape such a pain, few have done
With west winds we went
Much time had been spent
But escaped we had, by rise of sun

A once lost path now pulls us forward
A cold wind blows in from the north
Old Dwarven ruins cast shadows on the snow
As the journey yet beckons us forth

What strength I have left begins to drain
The evening draws the sun away
I tread swampy grounds
The air, dead of sound
I feel a magic telling me to stay

We walk and walk it never ends
Reflecting on lives left behind
The day was now spent
As west we still went
Through marshlands and trodden ground

Part way forward through a lowly moor
I wisp away ever looking on
My burden lifts and something under me
Takes me higher than the tallest tree

Walking on forever
Went and never returned
Effort is wasted
On a soul that's broken
