lyrics

There's a vagrant man, with blood on his hands
But it's not your fault, nor mine.

Mistakes do not yield, to the keys he did wield
Another's fate set him forth.

A wanderer of towns,
Collector of things,
Now buried, marked on a map.

Leaving behind, his children would find,
An everlasting prize
Redeeming him, absolving his sins
Impacting on their lives
A father now in their eyes.

He carries on, lives life as a pawn
in this game he cannot win

Writing a note, his spirit invoked
to tell his tale down this path

"Now when you find, this map of mine
may it guide you on your way

To all of those things, buried in time
a reflection of you in I"

Leaving behind, his children would find,
an everlasting prize
Redeeming him, absolving his sins
Impacting on their lives
a father now in their eyes.

For now, you will see
but a hyperbole

These treasures,
Gave up for you

For what could have been
For a man, and his kin

This tale, starts
a new.
