Why I Journey (Bill Temple)

Sometimes at night, I still see her face

As my journeys take me, place to place


For settled once, I was in life

A tiny farm, a beautiful wife


But fate had plans, I could not foretell

I lost it all, one night in hell


An evil force, from lands unknown

Came to this Earth, came to my home


With one fell swoop, my future lost

My beautiful wife, the ultimate cost


Yet as I mourned, I made a plan

To live a life, like no other man


I prayed to Gods, to make a deal

My soul in trade, for this force, so evil


My wishes granted, by Goddess kind

Freedom to travel, to all mankinds


In worlds unknown, and planets new

I was free to search, until revenge is true


With one last prayer, to my late wife

I turn my back, on my old life
