I wandered through the woods in search for him A mysterious figure, pale and thin Most say his mere being's nothing but a myth They were my last resort The answers he could give Then there he stood, small in size Yet somehow he expressed unending might He opened his mouth and took a deep breath Before he finally said: “I have come to answer your plea You wonder why but soon you shall see The fields of grain are soaking wet Rains have come, the future is set The sun will melt your work away And you'll forever curse this day Look at me, I'm old as a tree Older than a man can possibly be And here I'll stand, your answers I bring Till only ashes and bones remain Your life's not certain but one thing's been sure, right from the start One day your death will come, making all beauty and foulness part Countless times you saw your world in shards But as many times, you began anew cause you had hope in your heart For many alike life is a wretched game What once tasted fresh, now tastes sour and stale Many of your judgments have been passed in haste And now you wonder why all you loved has gone away Don't create bonds or love someone You cannot let go when her doom has come Whatever she's done or what's her name There will be one day after which you won't see her again Earthly pleasures have left you scarred There will be no end until temptations finally stop You have no idea how often you have failed But hope's your shelter, without it life would be hell Your time is short thus, use it well Now you're filled with regret, by your eyes I can tell Life is blank without the decisions that you make Choose the wrong thing, you'll become what you truly hate After the light glory or scorn awaits Some will love what you've done, what others will hate Time will pass, all will be forgotten No matter what battles fought, no matter what words spoken Sometimes so small, but we all left a mark But it's hard to see through a liquid veil and a broken heart” When he felt that all is said and done He vanished and I stood alone My hands were shaking, struck by awe Is this all he had in store? But I still feared he was right That there was no end of woe in sight I cut the strings as a puppet of luck Then a fountain of grey erupts
