"you ever look a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? it makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. how many moments of other peoples life have we been in? were we a part of someone's life when their dream came true or were we there when their dream died? did we keep trying to get in? as if we were somehow destined to be there or did the shot take us by surprise. just think, you could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it."


Riding hard through the trees,
trying to escape my past
The sound of my own horse's hooves give me unease.
But I continue on my journey fast.

I don't know where I will go.
Forced to roam
The guards ride after me, this I know.
Continuing to chase me far from home.

With my sword on my side,
and my cloak wrapped up tight.
I do my best to swallow up my pride.
And turn towards the men who I will fight.

I did nothing wrong.
I didn't lie nor steal.
But I was chased from home for far too long.
I tie off my horse and behind a bush I kneel.

Somehow they spot me,
before I can attack,
I make no effort to flee.
I fight long and hard, and push some men back.

There was nothing I could do,
a poor maiden as I.
I just couldn't take this crew.
and was in a cell in a blink of an eye.

Now here I am,
cold and alone.
all because of one great scam.
revenge, revenge, revenge I moan.
