Hail the Traveler

 

 

Hail the traveler; he is the one

 

The city gates open wide
on a black stallion he rides
head held high above the clouds

To the sun he waves,
to soldiers
in unmarked graves

 

 

Hail the traveler; the world is his

An orphan weeps,
no one sees

The truth is whispered,
no one hears

 

 

Hail the traveler; he is king
ruling over sea and shore

Hail the peace he couldn’t bring

Hail him, as he wages war

 

Hail him, he must be the one

 

Hail the traveler!
