Exile Eternal
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
