Analysis of Desolate road
Lead me to roads end,
When we arrive leave me,
Delve into crypts below,
Join the brethren of the depth,
Surrender life and journey, both.
The end begins torment night,
Rise again from slumber,
Injured spirit, desolate soul,
Leader of underworld reborn
In sorrows of the world.
Heroes from stories not forgot,
In night fail your grail of holy light,
For ships laed into sirens song
Will crash into Neptune's pond.
Search a wreckage for that treasure bright
Lost amongst that deep sea locker.
Return once more to roads end,
Turn around then back again.
Lead me no more,
For lost I was found I am.
