Enderal:The Song of the Wayward Wanderer
The Song of the Wayward Wanderer is one of the Bard Songs in Enderal.
Lyrics
Our ancient world seemed
Newborn in his eyes.
No place could keep him,
He yearned for the skies.
He abandoned the way
That Malphas foresaw.
He followed a path of his own.
And he strayed in the void
As a Wayward Wanderer,
Despising the Path
That was meant just for him.
Yet the dreams that he sought
In the deep red afterglow
Were as distant as ever before.
He did find a home
In the city below,
Where life neither purpose
Nor honor can hold.
The woman who loved him
Held out her heart,
And her suffering tore it apart!
Because he strayed in the void
As a Wayward Wanderer,
Despising the Path
That was meant just for him.
Yet the dreams that he sought
In the deep red afterglow
Were as distant as ever before.
Our ancient world seemed
As old as his eyes.
He had lived his whole life under empty skies.
When a little boy asked him
For the guiding Path,
He said, "Do not risk Malphas's wrath!"
Because you'll stray in the void
As a Wayward Wanderer,
Despising the Path
That is meant just for you.
Yet the dreams that you seek
In the deep red afterglow
Are as distant as they'll ever be."
