Go a‘wandering, young one
Down the dappled path
Of this sylvan wood
And maybe you’ll glimpse
A nymph, a dryad
A dream beyond your wildest
Dragon-inhabited fantasies

Go a’wandering, young one
Down the leaf-strewn road
Of another’s autumn
And maybe you’ll notice
A deserted inn at a crossroad
The crying of a forlorn child
And the songs of a lonely minstrel

Go a‘wandering, young one
Through the snow-stricken tundra
Of the vicious north
And maybe you’ll hear
The wolf’s hungry song
Heralding your arrival
Frost’s quiet laughter
Drifting like a whisper on the wind

Go a’wandering, young one
Through the ruined streets
Of a City of fallen angels
And perhaps you’ll remember
The regretful words of a seraphim
Exiled to this theatre of pain
And the lonely, forgotten whisper
Of a dead god’s memory

Go a’wandering, young one
Over the blood-dark sea
Of a decaying, dying world
And perhaps you’ll discover
The crumbling ruins of Atlantis
An ironic symbol of eternity
In an uncaring twilight world
Waiting for the night to end its torment

Go a’wandering young one
Over the rainbow bridge
Of a child’s innocent fantasy
And maybe you’ll reach out
And pull the morning star from
The sky’s black velvet embrace
And maybe you’ll find your love
Dancing within Death’s shadowy halls

Go a’wandering, young one
Through the dreams
Of a wordless poet, a tuneless minstrel
And maybe you’ll find
The last unicorn
That he’s been searching for
The voice of an angel
That he can no longer hear
