arch enemy – pilgrim lyrics
narrator
one day as i lay down to rest
in a den for my safe keeping
i closed my eyelids for the best
and i quickly fell to sleeping
was then i had the strangest dream
which i shall now forthtell
all of a man who lived in fear
for the thought of going to h-ll! i saw him reading from a book
and his legs they were a-shaking
the more he read the more he shook
till i knew his heart was breaking
but i could not ask why he wept so
as i said, i was only dreaming
but i’m sure that for some means of escape
was the way his mind was scheming
he looked around this way and that
as if to make a run
but the burden that was on his back
it surely weighed him down
and as he wept he cried out”what must i do to be saved, and to stop this burden from dragging me down
even further than the grave?”evangelist
head over there, you’ll find a gate
keep the light in your eye
that is the way of your escape
that is the way you must…
head over there, you’ll find a gate
keep the light in your eye
that is the way of your escape
that is the way you must … fly
pilgrim
so i journeyed as a pilgrim
never to return
many dangers lay before me
lessons i must learn
up the highway of salvation
my burden there i lost
fell away and rolled right from me
when i saw the cross
then on an on i bravely went
through the “valley of humiliation”was there i fought for my life
with the one that i used to serve
then the “valley of the shadowof death” it hung over me
i never thought that i’d see the light of day again
then i found a friend, oh what a friend
we travelled together
till at “vanity fair” they
