lirik lagu i remember 2006 - ballad of the vagabond
(part one): enter vagabond [rafe]
[verse one]
i open my eyes like every time
the sun crawls above the skyline
it’s time for me to roam again
the journey never will end
shut out everyone i could
when i stepped out of my town
and here i go again
into the unfamiliar
[chorus one]
everything is on its last leg
i can’t just stay and watch it all end
dust supplementing where i’ve been
i’m nowhere and everywhеre all the time
[verse two]
housеs are beaten and bare
what else is there to see there
but abandoned memories of people who used to be happy
before they took control
and i watched it tear my home apart
so, i left before it could get me
sorry, kids, i need to leave
maybe i’ll find a better place for you to be
[chorus one]
everything is on its last leg
i can’t just stay and watch it all end
dust supplementing where i’ve been
i’m nowhere and everywhere all the time
part two: transit through harsta [rafe]
[verse three]
sand and dirt fly into my eyes
as dust clouds form above the ground
wind blowing at an endless rate
the sun’s rays beat down on my face
i put a wet rag on my forehead
and i keep up with my pace
footprints are left in the sand
but eventually the wind will expunge
any memory of my existence
[chorus two]
legs are always exhausted, but i refuse to quit
there’s a purpose out there, i can feel it
[verse four]
every town that i intercept
i grab a newspaper and see what i’ve missed
i’ve stopped at harsta this time
get something to drink to calm my nerves
they’re pushing more limitations on the country
making it harder to leave
soon enough, we will be closed off from the rest
they demand ivali is a utopia
but i know that is false
[chorus two]
legs are always exhausted, but i refuse to quit
there’s a purpose out there, i can feel it
[verse five]
i set out of hasrta
what will likely be the last time
visiting a quaint village
i have to keep advancing
there’s answers somewhere
that can solve everything
if you see in the desert
remember not to stop me
i’m in the pursuit of meaning
part three: traversing the desert
(instrumental)
part four: the sun goes down, the moon comes up [rafe]
[verse six]
the sun has crawled into bed
it’s time i rest my head for a while
i set up the tent to rest for the night
i’ve done the best i could for the day
i sit down and eat a peach
take a swig of water and crawl into the sleeping bag
the lantern blows out with the wind
as the moon illuminates the sky
for a sweet dream i hope to have
part five: children of the sky [rafe]
[verse seven]
howls of the night sing to me
stars twinkle bright to soothe me
[chorus three]
and i think of you in the sky
staring down at me
guiding me through my journey
i promise you!
i will make this world better!
for you!
[verse eight]
no child deserves to live in fear
i’ll find a way to change our fates
from the corrupting domination of ivali’s leaders
one day, kids, freedom will come back to you
i know i will rise above
their pace they have to catch anyone
will fall behind
my calling here to kingdom come
[chorus three]
and i think of you in the sky
staring down at me
guiding me through my journey
i promise you!
i will make this world better!
for you!
part six: a starlight show
(instrumental)
part seven: a dream (a premonition) [will]
[verse nine]
as my mind drifts into the subconscious
i can see the king’s face come into view
his guards surround him in every direction
and in the reflection of a mirror is me
but no one recognizes my presence
as i stare down at an inverted map
that lies on a table
mapping out ivali and the continent
all the other countries
yarest, caras, beva, and navelis
the ones that border us
and i see arrows written on it
bleeding into the others
as a realization switches on
an infiltration is in planning
and i now know i must stop this
no more people will suffer the wrath of king ivalias
it’s time for an insurrection
[verse ten]
out in the wastelands
something is sparking
my name is being whispered
and it only gets louder
as a cave comes into view
and a light grows brighter
an abyss staring right at me
as some form comes into focus
and eyes stare through me
a calling
an ally, it feels
a way to take a threat down
a way to save ivali
a way to protect our neighbors
a way to start a new beginning
it’s time for an insurrection
[verse eleven]
and i wake up
sweat sliding down my cheek
shaken from the vision i’ve seen
the morning sun is leaking
into the tent
it’s time to roam again
part eight: mind broadcast [will]
[verse twelve]
i rise to my feet
the sun warming the sand
i inhale the morning air
and step out of the tent
i know what my calling is
but where do i go to find you?
the image of the cave is burned in my brain, in my brain, in my brain, in my brain
as the tent falls down and i put it away
i stare over the dunes
there must be a sign somewhere
i know what must be done
but how do i get it done?
[verse thirteen]
through the air, a message broadcast is in my mind
every step i take, something is leading me
where are you taking me?
guiding me, guiding me, guiding me through the dunes
part nine: the dunes
(instrumental)
part ten: close to you [will]
[verse fourteen]
i’ve climbed up the mountain of sand
to see a town o’er the land
and the signal echoes louder in my brain
i must be close, i have to be
i sail down the sand
heading towards that land
a new town to intercept
keep leading me through
[chorus four]
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i’m close to you
[verse fifteen]
i step onto the pavement
i take in the scenery
committing the visual to memory
as i enter for the first time
i know this must be near the border
i can see that the king’s tower is beyond the mountains
in my mind the broadcast gets stronger
you have to be near
[chorus four]
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i’m close to you, i’m close to you, i’m close to you, i’m close to you
[verse sixteen]
i tread through the streets
sit down in a restaurant to get my bearings
i know my journey is just above the horizon
i have to prepare for it
as i get my bearings
and state my gratitude
i walk out of the restaurant
and head to that mountain horizon
[chorus four]
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
i know i’m close to you
part eleven: echoing signal
(instrumental)
part twelve: arrival of the beast [rafe]
[part seventeen]
i feel sick from the echoing signal
that’s bouncing around my brain
i hold onto my head
as i follow the sound
to an opening
and as my eyes focus on it
i see the mouth of a cave
and i realize i’ve made it
i peek inside
as wind blows around
and something glows within
a pair of eyes shine bright
as they glare at me
and i feel frozen for a minute
a voice echoes out
and beckons me to come closer
so, i step inside
i light a flare
to see what’s there
and i find a massive figure
they step closer
and i lock eyes with them
the eyes of the beast
terrifying in it’s amber ember
but i don’t complain
i stare brave into his eyes
and i pray for a companion
for which i have found
and i feel safe
i approach the beast
reach out my hand
and i touch its snout
it seems to feel comforted
things seem to be fine
i seem to be trusted
it stands up and looks out
of the mouth of the cave
indicating the time to leave
i am aware of the darkness looming over
this beast doesn’t seem to care
i seem to be trusted
it’s time to exit the cave
it’s slowly getting faster
as it hoists me onto its back
and trots out of the cave
i feel the wind on my face
it’s time to head to the king
the fur of the beast keeps me warmer than ever before
hopping over the mountainside
i can better see the palace
our dead set destination
i can see it now
part thirteen: sprint through the valley
(instrumental)
part fourteen: the palace gates [will]
[verse eighteen]
i hear the trumpets sound as we approach the gates
the soldiers glare at us in panic
i raise my fists and declare
“king ivalias, i know you’re in there!
i know your plans of invasion
and i mustn’t let you
bring more fear to innocent people!
you will not take over other countries
to spread your power over time
to advance your aggression
this arc is over, time for a new story!
one of freedom and glory!”
[verse nineteen]
we crash into the gates
the beast tears through the doors
and the fire from the guards
can’t keep up with the beast’s speed
we are in the palace now
and the beast runs through the corridors
almost as if it’s been here before
memorized the ins and outs
as if i know your exact whereabouts
i look down and see my reflection on the marble floors
and i realize that i’ve never felt so close to someone or something before
before!
part fifteen: scatter the halls
(instrumental)
part sixteen: the throne awaits [rafe]
[verse twenty]
we charge into the king’s corridors
i see ivalias stare at us in fear
“how have you escaped?!
i thought i banished you away decades ago!”
king ivalias shouts in surprise
[verse twenty~one]
“by putting them in a cave?” i retaliated
“he wasn’t even tied down, or cursed, or nothing
he was just biding his time
and i should know
as we are both connected
and we are here to stop you
from your evil takeover plans
the time of reckoning has come for you, king ivalias!”
[verse twenty~two]
i’ve waited for this opportunity for years
to save our people from you
to give my children a better life
years as a vagabond, and i’ve had enough
the time of change has come to us
i will not be less than zero
i will be infinity!
part seventeen: brawl in the royal palace
(instrumental)
part eighteen: the promise [rafe]
[verse twenty~three]
slowly, the smoke clears from our battle
the beast and i stand victorious
king ivalias lays motionless on the floor
his sword departed by his side
and the guards glare at us, amazed and terrified
the beast lets out a roar
before charging towards the guards
knocking several down
and tearing through others
as we sail out of the palace
knowing we have won
[verse twenty~four]
i see my days as the vagabond wane
i know that peace will eventually sustain
throughout all the h~ll that ivalias brought to ivali
finally, something good has to come
[chorus three refrain]
and i think of my children in the sky
staring down at me
guiding me through my journey
i promised you!
i will make this world better!
for you!
i promised you!
i will make this world better!
for you!
[outro]
and now, that world has come to you
