lyrics

Now this is where the story takes a bit of a turn
It's also the inspiration behind another one of our legends names
The Wanderer
The story goes the Painter and Actor went mad from this constant battle between his internal selves
Never producing the art he knew he had inside himself
In a world in which he felt he had no control
He roamed the country
Never truly finding a home

Then one day in a town not too different from the one our legend is from
A newspaper article was printed
In this article the reporter recounts a story about how a stranger had died in the night, and was found the next morning

After the article made its way around the town
Locals came out, saying they had seen the man
But never really bothered to ask who he was or what he needed
After all he was a drifter, a beggar, a wanderer

The more the reporter learned, the more she wanted to tell the strory
These are her words...
