Tale of Salvation

and the lone man struggled on and on
for all his friends were gone
and his mind not far behind

and the long days burned on and on
for all his fight was gone
and his faith not far behind

salvation on the horizon

pay attention to what i say
it may show you the way
to what eats away at his heart

and the lone man struggled on and on
for his path was nearly gone
and his pain not far behind

and the days lingered on and on
for all of his love was gone
and his hate not far behind

salvation on the horizon

oh, the sorrow of it all
and the redemption of his fall
just an empty vessel sailing away to nowhere
