Against The Wind

Here I stand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea
Oh, I delve into the vault
Of my mind, a memory
When a heart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak
Paling crescent in the sky
Pouring down its fading beam

I stand here all alone
I came here on my own
To reginite the inner blaze

Against the wind, against the grain
Open visor - arrows rain
I'm me and I do it my way
Don't you tell me what to be
Through my eyes you cannot see
I'm me and I'm going my way
Against the wind I'm going my way

I've been out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate
I've seen scarily faceless things
Where they scream, but never hear
Scraggy fingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed
The enticer never sleeps
Breathing doubt into your ear

I stand here all alone
I came here on my own
And you will not take hold on my creed

Against the wind, against the grain
Open visor - arrows rain
I'm me and I do it my way
Don't you tell me what to be
Through my eyes you cannot see
I am me and I'm going my way
Against the wind I'm going my way
