    I walk these hills
    leave these dark valleys
    where I can't stay now
    in the lands unknown
    And in these hills
    that I've walked so often
    I can feel the winds now
    hold your ghost
    And I sail my boat
    across these waters
    to steel my soul
    For now I walk these roads alone
    And my soul now will sink
    beneath these waters
    so dark and cold
    for on this road I'll die alone

      @@runawaygemm5397 ​ @RunawayGemm Oooh, I really think that works better. Did I mistype or misinterpret? Cuz you are so right. THANK YOU! :D
      Notes: I had "steal my soul" originally. Edited to "steel my soul".
      Nerd Postscript: "Steal" might actually work for this show. I'm not just "well, actually"-ing my initial misspelling of the word. ;p After your comment, I edited my original lyrics post. Then my nerd brain kicked in. When living in a world where souls are real and a commodity, stealing your own back from some weirdness and sailing away across deep running water fits a lot of fantasy/horror/fairy-tale lore. Even if you have to bury yourself/soul under the sea, at least you'll be free of the brutal existential horrors (hopefully)!
      Anyway, thanks for "steel". I still think it fits better, despite my nerd tangent. ^__^
