| Far away from home
|
| I roam these lands and distant shores
|
| Damned — Forsaken — Banned — Cast out
|
| A pariah of war
|
| All I held so dear I had to burn and leave behind
|
| A solitary man who’s the run into exile
|
| No — Never again I’ll see the faces of my kin
|
| But all their faces are engraved & locked so deep within
|
| All I had so easily taken away from me
|
| But no you’ll never take away these treasured memories
|
| I’m free — I’m free — Yes — I’m free
|
| Forever banned into exile eternal — Exile eternal
|
| Forever banned — Banned into exile
|
| Come — Oh dreaded foe — Follow the trails of my escape
|
| Send all your dogs of war
|
| To catch my scent and seal my fate
|
| I will not rest — I’ll lead you beasts away into the wild
|
| You may catch me — You’ll hunt me down
|
| But not my wife and child
|
| Some they called me golden tongue
|
| For I gave generously of my private means
|
| I founded hospitals for the poor
|
| A social being — Not a religious activist
|
| I spoke out fearlessly against the custom of bowing
|
| Before their statues
|
| For this defiance of authority I was banned into exile |
