01. Traveller on this Long Road (live2)
[spoken words announcement] [crowd cheering loudly] “Castle Ruins, are you ready for the live-performance of our album 'Paths of fire and silence'? We’re kicking off tonight with an old favorite we all know! Here’s ‘Traveller on this Long Road’!” [intro] [instrumental] [Verse 1] I’m walking slow through the fading daylight, a lonely road beneath my feet. The wind is whispering forgotten stories, of every soul I’ll never meet. Shadows stretch across the valley, old memories rising from the ground. But still I move through the silent twilight, searching for a deeper sound. [Pre-Chorus] And though the night keeps closing in, I hold a spark that burns within. [Chorus] I’m just a traveler on this long road, searching for a place to rest my name. The stars above me keep on burning, guiding me through dark and flame. I’m just a traveler on this long road, carrying the weight of all I’ve known. And when the morning light surrounds me, I’ll finally find my way back home. [instrumental] [Verse 2] I’ve crossed the rivers and the broken valleys, left all my shadows far behind. But every mile reveals another memory, another truth I couldn’t find. The mountains echo with distant voices, calling out from long ago. I feel their stories in every heartbeat, in every step along this road. [Pre-Chorus] And though the cold wind cuts my skin, I feel a light begin again. [Chorus (Variation)] I’m just a traveler on this long road, searching for a place to rest my name. The stars above me keep on burning, guiding me through dark and flame. I’m just a traveler on this long road, walking through the night alone. But when the dawn breaks on the horizon, I’ll finally find my way back home. [Instrumental Break / Solo Section] [Bridge] If there’s a home beyond the horizon, I’ll walk until the dawn appears. And when I reach that final clearing, I’ll lay to rest my doubts and fears. No more wandering through the darkness, no more carrying the weight of time. I’ll stand beneath the rising sunlight, and let the past fall far behind. [Chorus (Final, Extended)] I’m just a traveler on this long road, searching for a place to rest my name. The stars above me keep on burning, guiding me through dark and flame. I’m just a traveler on this long road, carrying the stories carved in stone. And when the morning light surrounds me, I’ll finally find my way back home. Yes, when the morning light surrounds me, I’ll finally find my way back home
