[Verse] From the ashes of a tribe One man rode Through the whispers of the wind His story told Found his way to a city Where the night lights glow Once a raider Now a mercenary bold [Verse 2] He found a taste of joy in a foreign land With his son by his side and sword in hand In the shadows of the streets They took a stand Through the battles and the blood They could withstand [Chorus] But fate’s cruel hand has a twisted plan When the brotherhood you trust turns quicksand In the heat of battle As dust swirled grand His own fell to a comrade’s unkind hand [Verse 3] He knelt beside the boy Life fading away Eyes that were once bright Now dark and gray The city’s lights could no longer sway The heart of a father torn and led astray [Verse 4] Left with memories of a time well-spent In the city where his happiness was lent But the streets he knew now only lament A tale of sorrow and a soul that's bent [Bridge] So he wanders now A shadow in the night A figure cloaked in pain Long gone the light In the alleys and the byways Out of sight Searching for a reason An end in sight
