The Eternal Rider

 



(A lone voice talks to his only friend)


Nobody knows my name

For nobody can know my pain


But all that matters


Is how my version of the Almighty built me


To resist that pain whenever it feels like raining 


So like a lone singer walking the red carpets


Looking into mythical rooms 


As he walks through his version of The Hotel California


I know we'll find our way to the bright lights of Salvation


Past all the sweet temptations and mountains of the Mournful


To embrace our life's muse called Laura 


Since She of no name

From the High Courts of Moloria


While reading my Tarot cards in her Rec Room called The Consortia

 

Once described her 


And now all we gotta do is try to find and restore her


For my blood and yours are infused with the spirits of ancient warriors


As I now know


We're just another two performers


Alive and lost in the endless Plays of the Forlorn 


Who silently prays 

To be glorified and transformed 


Whilst the four winds bellow 


With whispers and echos of Pandora 


To fulfil the prophecy of meeting our Laura


As reported by She of No Name


The Mage


The Sorceress

From the High Courts of Moloria



Where she once so long ago


Read my Tarot cards in her Rec Room 


Called The Consortia
