the land

imagine me a distant land
of rock and stone, dust and sand
imagine me a place you know
but a place where you fear to go
i am that land, that far off place
a land with name but no known face
if brave soul you would travel hence
i would warn you first of the expense
for no one before has journey'd free
to my borders and then on to me
so count the cost before you set course
for once here you must leave by force
imagine me a lonely land
of rock and stone, dust and sand
