The Strange

Upon the strange, I stumbled The eldritch, I encountered Speaking in whispers and harsh cries I had known it inside of me I had lost it everywhere It shifted its shape and changed its size Nestled by the rocks In blood and earthen red I'll paint the secrets of yore I'll roam and I'll seek I'll come and I will find you I am the eagle and the bear The wind and the emptiness In the night of the mind In the light of the day I am the trout and the deer The wind and the emptiness In the heart of the wild Under the gyre of stars Embraced by the tall, murky woods Tall, murky woods Nestled by the rocks In blood and earthen red I'll paint the secrets of yore I'll roam and I'll seek I'll come and I will find you I am the eagle and the bear The wind and the emptiness In the night of the mind In the light of the day I am the trout and the deer The wind and the emptiness Shrouded in mist the sinking fens Where paths will dwindle in the dark And signs will fade and disappear My footprint's seen but for a while I'll roam and I'll seek I'll come and I will find you I am the eagle and the bear The wind and the emptiness In the night of the mind In the light of the day I am the trout and the deer The wind and the emptiness
