A voice I didn’t know, echoing so blurred and low
"I can't find the way back home..."
Deep inside the ancient woods, where the darkness lies
Every signpost faded out, hidden from my eyes
"This way," a whisper called, beckoning me near
But when I turned to look, no one was there to fear
Neither light nor wind will move, frozen in the air
Only voices whispering, coming from nowhere
"Help me," was the plea I heard, shivering and small
Was it me? Or was it... something else at all?
Stepping deep into the peaks, climbing up so high
Since when was I unable to say a last goodbye?
"You can never go back now," a voice began to play
Laughing right beside me, taking me away
Footprints in the mountain soil, growing one by one
Though I’m walking all alone, the counting has begun
The ringing of a silver bell, a sudden, chilly gust
The rustling of the forest leaves, turning into dust
A tiny hand reached out to me, brushing past my skin
Though we aren't joined at all, I can't undo the sin
Please, don't touch me anymore, stay away from me
Don't act so kind, just let my spirit be
Stepping deep into the peaks, lost within the shade
Who is sweeping out the path, the footprints that I made?
Luring me into the maze, singing like a bird
Hey... tell me who you are. Have I ever heard?
The sun goes down, the night arrives
I want to go back, but the mountain thrives
Shadows creeping closer, claiming all our lives
Gone too far into the peaks, wandering too deep
My name, my face, my very soul, are secrets that they keep
"Now we’re together forever," the voice begins to sigh
If that’s the sound I hear... it’s time to say goodbye
Even if I look behind, there’s nothing to be found
But the sound of laughter... is echoing all around
