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

keep the light in your eye
that is the way of your escape
that is the way you must … fly

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
