The Lost Souls

Song number 2 of The Traveller Among The Lost (see previous two entries for more details). This is where the story proper begins. The chorus of this is possibly the earliest thing I wrote for this project. Bits in brackets indicate backing vocals, I needed to put them in to try to keep some sort of rhyme scheme, although its a bit odd.

Comments are welcome, as usual

The Lost Souls - August - December 2006

I stepped in through the hole
That they’d made in the sky
“How kind of them” I thought
“To let me” (Inside their world)
But as I waited by the roadside
For some transport deeper in
The feeling began to subside
To be replaced by confusion

How did I get here?
And just how did here come to be?
Looking with both my eyes closed is
No way to see

Chorus:
We are the lost souls
We are the ones that you refuse to see
We are the children
We are the ones who cannot ever leave

And as I travelled
In further I felt so alone
Until I felt the presence
Of other lost … (other lost souls)
Drifting with no meaning
And nowhere that they belonged
Trying to make it alright
But always getting it … (getting it wrong)

Chorus:
We are the lost souls
We are the ones that you refuse to see
We are the children
We are the ones who cannot ever leave
Where is the eagle?
Where is the one who flew me to this place?
Where is the lone wolf?
Where is the one that used to wear my face?

All of the lost were
Searching for a way to escape
I thought that together we
Could find a better … (a better way)
So I travelled with others
But only ever one at a time
And they’d soon disappear
And leave me to find … (my own path through the night)

How did I get here?
And just how did here come to be?
Open my eyes for the first time
And finally I see

Chorus:
We are the lost souls
We are the ones that you refuse to see
We are the children
We are the ones who cannot ever leave
Where is the eagle?
Where is the one who flew me to this place?
Where is the lone wolf?
Where is the one that used to wear my face?

Awake from the illusion and I can see
The truth of the fate that is staring at me
No one exists to hear my calling
Into what I thought I’d stepped I’m really falling
