<div style="text-align: center; font-style: italic; font-size: 1.25em; margin: 2em 0; column-count: 2; column-rule: solid 1px gray; " >

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Our ancient world seemed<br>
Newborn in his eyes<br>
No place could keep him<br>
He yearned for the skies<br>
He abandoned the way<br>
That Malphas foresaw<br>
He followed a path of his own<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
And he strayed in the void<br>
As a Wayward Wanderer<br>
Despising the Path<br>
That was meant just for him<br>
Yet the dreams that he sought<br>
In the deep red afterglow<br>
Were as distant as ever before<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
He did find a home<br>
In the city below<br>
Where life neither purpose<br>
Nor honor can hold<br>
The woman who loved him<br>
Held out her heart<br>
And her suffering tore it apart<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
Cause he strayed in the void<br>
As a Wayward Wanderer<br>
Despising the Path<br>
That was meant just for him<br>
Yet the dreams that he sought<br>
In the deep red afterglow<br>
Were as distant as ever before<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; ">
Our ancient world seemed<br>
As old as his eyes<br>
He had lived his whole life under empty skies<br>
When a little boy asked him<br>
For the guiding Path<br>
He said "Do not risk Malphas' wrath!"<br>
</div>

<div style="margin: 2em 0; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
"Cause you'll stray in the void<br>
As a Wayward Wanderer<br>
Despising the Path<br>
That is meant just for you<br>
Yet the dreams that you seek<br>
In the deep red afterglow<br>
Are as distant as they'll ever be."<br>
