Sojourn


Music: Möller / Brusius / Hahn / Neumann
Lyrics: Möller
Born into a world under the surface of lands
Born into a world under the surface of lands

(Verse 1)
Born into a world lying deep
Under the surface of lands
A sombre realm where peace deceives
And where virtuous life ends
Different in faith he knew
He had to forsake his heinous race
Once he grew strong enough
He left his kin to find a tranquil place

(Chorus)
He was born into shadows
But he strove to live decently
Left his home for new borders
Doomed to wander eternally


(Verse 2)
Through darkest caverns
Along secret passages away
He faced gruesome perils
Which constantly led him astray
But finally he chanced to leave
The hollows of the underground
Vanquished his fears his strength prevailed
His long-seeked liberty's unbound

(Chorus)
He was born into shadows
But he strove to live decently
Left his home for new borders
Doomed to wander eternally
His reverence ignored
His valour's in disgrace
His life bound to his sword
Falsely feared misplaced
An eternal curse imposed
Black-skinned stranger shunned by most

(Chorus)
He was born into shadows
But he strove to live decently
Left his home for new borders
Doomed to wander eternally
