[LUNAR-BOUND SOUL II] The Eternal Wanderer [Explosive symphonic opening] I — LUNAR-BOUND LUNAR-BOUND SOUL! LUNAR-BOUND! By the turning heavens I am bound! LUNAR-BOUND SOUL! LUNAR-BOUND! When the world sleeps I am found! Through frozen valleys Through forests black The moon calls forth— I ANSWER BACK! II — THE WANDERER I have crossed the mountains Where the wolves cry out I have walked through kingdoms That have vanished now Castles turned to rubble Crowns returned to dust Ancient roads forgotten Buried under rust I watched the generations Rise and disappear Yet the moon remained above me Cold and ever near Kingdoms die! Empires fall! The moon outlives them all! III — A THOUSAND DEATHS Perhaps I died A thousand years ago Perhaps I live Only because she glows Perhaps each life Is only one more night And every death Another rising light I have watched kingdoms Turn to dust Seen iron crowns Become the rust Yet still she hangs Above the trees Untouched by age— UNTOUCHED BY ME! [SYMPHONIC GUITAR SOLO III] IV — THE MOON'S BLOOD No spell was spoken. No god decreed. No mortal hand Can sever me. I am bound By something older Than the names Men gave the stars. The moon above. The earth below. And endless roads Wherever I go. I AM NOT IMMORTAL! I AM UNENDING! For every night That reaches its end— THE MOON RETURNS. And so do I. V — THE LAST MOON When my bones are buried Beneath the frozen ground When no man speaks my name And no bell makes a sound Let the moon find me. Let the silver light descend. For I will walk again Where mortal roads must end. [SYMPHONIC GUITAR SOLO IV] VI — FINAL CHORUS LUNAR-BOUND! SOUL OF THE NIGHT! LUNAR-BOUND! FOREVER IN HER SIGHT! The moon shall wax. The moon shall wane. The kingdoms shall rise. The kingdoms shall fall. The forests shall swallow The roads of men. The stars shall forget The names of kings. But beneath the silver sky— I SHALL WANDER. AGAIN. LUNAR-BOUND.
