We, The Forlorn

Breath sparse, limbs aching
 Thirst parched, sight failing
 Gasping for thin air
 Our gaze, a dead stare
 One year of exile
 One fell deed, one vile tale
 Our lives lost, our hope gone
 Without choice, we walk on
 Cast from our home
 Forevermore
 Cursed to wander alone
 We, The Forlorn
 Once I thought I'd lie here forever
 At rest in a life of peace
 My love, my land, and all that I had
 Torn away and left with grief
 Memories tainted
 Of names and faces
 Our kith and kin of old
 Their twisted scowls
 Of loathing and scorn
 Never once thought of right or wrong
 Here, in this land of stone
 Where time appears to slow
 A wasteland of dread and despair
 The ground as dead as the air
 Now, with home left behind
 No hope lingers in our eyes
 Our fears numb as our minds
 Our tears long since dried
 We lie undone
 Cursed by the sun
 Resigned to our fate
 Swallowed by fear and hate
 As dark falls, and light sets
 Our journey, a failed test
 We are scorned, we are lost
 We are broken, we are
 Cast from our home
 Forevermore
 Cursed to wander alone
 We, The Forlorn
 Out of grasp of all that I've known
 My heart falls silent as stone
 With one last aching sigh
 I bid thee one final goodbye
