The song title is a work in progress, I just don't have a name for this song yet
I digress, here are the lyrics - imagine a sort of slow prog/progressive rock ballad (No Quarter by Led Zeppelin, Echoes by Pink Floyd etc.)
The Traveller
Verse 1
And even though I'm certain
Like all wounds they will fade
You burrowed deep in to my mind
And I'll never be the same
The Keep, my brain, you lived in
Is rotten at the core
But memories you planted there
Help stop the sickness spreading more
Chorus
You wore my skin
Now wear your own
Let's meet again
When we are whole
Verse
We never cut the roots away
The sickness spread too quick
You hung on from a vein or two
But the pain, it made you sick
You climbed right out and told me that
You needed a new home,
You left my mind all broken and
You made off all alone
Chorus
Middle 8/instrumental/solo/breakdown type thing that lasts for ages
Verse
Cauterised and healing
I'll wear my scar with pride
Memories will sweeten
When recalled in the right frame of mind
But if you plant another castle
Its roots to you I'll climb
Wait up at the tower top
And I'll tend my brain this time
Instrumental to coda/chorus/not decided yet
