Far away from home I roam these lands and distant shores Damned – Forsaken – Banned – Cast out A pariah of war All I held so dear I had to burn and leave behind A solitary man who's the run into exile
No – Never again I'll see the faces of my kin But all their faces are engraved & locked so deep within All I had so easily taken away from me But no you'll never take away these treasured memories
I'm free – I'm free – Yes – I'm free
Forever banned into exile eternal – Exile eternal Forever banned – Banned into exile
Come – Oh dreaded foe – Follow the trails of my escape Send all your dogs of war to catch my scent and seal my fate I will not rest – I'll lead you beasts away into the wild You may catch me – You'll hunt me down but not my wife and child
Some they called me golden tongue For I gave generously of my private means I founded hospitals for the poor A social being – Not a religious activist I spoke out fearlessly against the custom of bowing before their statues For this defiance of authority I was banned into exile
