Curse of a Different Kane

*A character from the works of Karl Edgar Wagner.* Born in the age When the world was young One of the first immortal men Cursed to walk where no man belongs A warlord A scholar The greatest blade in every fight Cursed by fate to never die Denied the right... To fall... To fade away... To rest in eternal sleep I'll never see that day Blood on my hands But I can't recall... Did I raise that kingdom? Did I make it fall? I've seen countless empires rise and wash away Been so long Just forgotten names It's Only me... The lands... And the cycle that stay! A god once called me to do his will I laughed and walked right out of his temple Mages Witches And kings seek my leadership and blade In the end They all get played! I have seen the stars burn out in the sky Crossed lost kingdoms And forgotten why Thousands of wars have left their stain But I forget Was I the invader... Or was I King? Blood on my hands But I can't recall... Did I raise that kingdom? Did I make it fall? I've seen countless empires rise and wash away Been so long Just forgotten names It's Only me... The lands... And the cycle that stay! [Outro] I march on... Another empire's next... But both... I... And the world... Forget
