My shadow, my only companion

The meaning's lost,
What hurt it caused
Can't see the shore
In horizon across

Onward i swim
Catching my breath
The cool waves won't
Douse the fire that's felt

What good are the oars
For the boat has sunk
What good is the lore
For the luck that's drunk

Sink or swim
Ain't die or live
The link of whims
Survived, it still

The wanderer wanders
And wonders amazed
How did it come,
Why did this surface?
How can I, the nomad be
Not unattached, not be free
I'll find myself under these troubled skies
Not the reflection, the one in their eyes

It will be severed
The bonds that bind
It will be levered
The story destined
The power of will
Put to my test
The company I trust
My shadow the best...
