Oh wandering soul have you no home?

Why do you weep and tremble so?

Oh wandering soul why have you followed me home?

Why do you laugh and smile so?

Your mirthless laugh

Your empty smile

They move and shake me more

Why are you so tired

Why so sick

Turn your face from me oh evil wick

Why do you threaten and mock

For what are you

A lost and wandering soul

And what can you do

You are nothing but a wavering flame

In an already bright place

Your purpose useless

And long forgotten

What can you do?

Oh wandering soul

You will find no rest here

Your words they haunt me

Your actions scare me

Who do you belong to

oh soul who cries out

Who have you been torn from

You mirthless spirit

Your pain goes on

Duly sustained

And yet your tears do not come

And your eyes do not waver

While your screams refuse release

And your aura seeks no refuge

Your pain is paralysis

You haunt me oh soul

Where do you belong

Who have you been torn from

Why do you follow me

Do you not see my rebuke

You do not belong here

Your pain will go unnoticed

Find refuge elsewhere

I will not take you

I do not want you

Who do you belong to?

Surely not I!

Surely not I...
