Fortuna

Fortuna (Latin: Fortūna, equivalent to the Greek goddess Tyche) is the goddess of fortune and the personification of luck in Roman religion who, largely thanks to the Late Antique author Boethius, remained popular through the Middle Ages until at least the Renaissance.

The journey begins at the end of the night 
Through these distant stars, surrounded by dark 
Let's traverse to another land 
Where sights are laid upon first time 

Carefully gathering 
This endless gaze 
These personal artifacts 
Despite all our tears 
Merely as a ritual 
Becoming your ground 
For collecting yourselves again 

Her fairy inspires good fortune ahead 
With hopes they can soon return home unscathed 

Hold on tight, don't let me go 
Don't carry on the other way 
Can we reach out 
Find a second chance 
From this world 
That's devoid of all 

These skills that you've learned along the way 
From mentors and teachers and passersby 
Remain within, becoming one 
Just don't forget their charming lines 

Beyond the glass 
There's life that thrives 
It's unlike what we're used to 
Treasured moonlight 
That shines upon these 
Mythic creatures at night 
A sight that few will share tonight 
While others hide away 

Hold on to these memories 
Don't carry on the other way 
Can we reach out 
Find a second life 
Beyond this world 
That's unknown from all 

This nature, it's bright 
Enchanted, so right 
This feeling, can't fight 
Let's go down this path now 
I can't wait to go inside
