Emptiness and Solitude.

by Falkryst de Flamberge.

Here on the oars, the heart of the beast,
Fear of the whip, getting food that�s diseased.
Scars on my back, can�t even control my death,
An Ediuian ship, no hope for the best.
This loneliness rings strong like a bell,
I pray to go home, but am confined to this Hel.

Sailed away to a place that�s unknown,
Taken away from my friends and my home.
To a place they live well, the place I call Hel,
I long for the groves I once knew so well

Calloused hands, it�s all that I have,
Oar on and on, I got nothing to show,
But a miserable face, in this awful place,
Emptiness and solitude.
I dream of that place of this far away coast,
Where there were friends dear and times of toast.
Then a dark image of an eastern land,
Bears down and wrecks my hopeful thoughts.

Sailed away to a place that�s unknown,
Taken away from my friends and my home.
To a place they live well, the place I call Hel,
I long for the groves I once knew so well
