A foggy cold morning puts a strain on the bones
And the hanging bags beneath my eyes
Weary of company and being alone
I wash down despair with despise
A new day they say is not too long away
Round the next corner it hides
And If any a resident steps in the way
Quickly they'll be laid aside
Take me or leave me you will never deceive me as I have been deceived before
I've stood in the middle and studied the riddles for hours just so I were sure
I've perched on royal porches with bright burning torches then marked em with soot on the door
Awake in my chamber and pacing with anger one,000 times I Cross the floor
Some days see the courage and some days it's gone a mystery to where it went
Often discouraged to just carry on with blisters and energy spent
Cracked fingertips are worked to the bone and a back now perpetually bent
Nary a fact passed through open lips
Did cause the devil to relent
Take me or leave me you will never deceive me as I have been deceived before
I've stood in the middle and studied the riddles for hours just so I were sure
I've perched on royal porches with bright burning torches then marked em with soot on the door
Awake in my chamber and pacing with anger one,000 times I Cross the floor
Many a noble man with gentle hands has gazed to our way with a sneer
Many a noble man has wandered the land at midnight then they disappeared.
