Lyrics

1. WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her i do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all i need

...And with dust in throat i crave
Only knowledge will i save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And i'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home

...And the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars i've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

...and my ties are severed clean
The less i have the more i gain
Off the beaten path i reign
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But i'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And i'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home


2. FADE TO BLACK (LIVE)

Life it seems will fade away
Drifting farther everyday
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else
I have lost the will to live
Simply nothing more to give
There is nothing more for me
Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be
Missing one inside of me
Deathly lost this can't be real
Cannot stand this hell i feel
Emptiness is filling me
To the point of agony
Growing darkness taking dawn
I was me but now he is gone

No one but me can save myself but it's too late
Now i can't think think why i should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed
Death greets me warm now i will just say goodbye

But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And i'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still i roam
Wherever i may roam


3. WHEREVER I MAY ROAM (DEMO)

...And the road becomes my bride
I have stripped of all but pride
So in her i do confide
And she keeps me satisfied
Gives me all i need

...And with dust in throat i crave
Only knowledge will i save
To the game you stay a slave
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind anywhere
And i'll redefine anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home

...and the earth becomes my throne
I adapt to the unknown
Under wandering stars i've grown
By myself but not alone
I ask no one

...And my ties are severed clean
The less i have the more i gain
Off the beaten path i reign
Rover wanderer
Nomad vagabond
Call me what you will

But i'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere
And i'll never mind anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home

But i'll take my time anywhere
Free to speak my mind
And i'll take my find anywhere
Anywhere i may roam
Where i lay my head is home

Carved upon my stone
My body lie, but still i roam
Wherever i may roam
