I walked along the abandoned road
Deeper and deeper among the trees,
I was pulled into an abyss unending
As I walked along the abandoned road.

The trees stood there
Like the judges in the hall of death,
I stumbled on a stone and fell down
As I walked along the abandoned road.

The winds were cold, dry and cruel
Like my heart was once,
I heard some whispers among the trees
As I walked along the abandoned road.

I saw a vulture feeding on a carcass
It looked at me like a friend long lost,
Its kin kept flying over my head
As I walked along the abandoned road.

I would have feasted along with them
But the maggots had been too fast,
I looked at them for one last time
As I walked along the abandoned road.
