The Protagonist

His life was frigid and cold to the touch.
What do you say to a man who's seen too much?
His past is the past but his future's a mystery.
The only good thing to come out of it is history.

He did wonderful thankless work for what his world became.
Did things for strangers who didn't even bother to ask his name.
He can stand on his own free will.
Be he sees something stranger still.

Vile secrets come late to be unveiled.
But he succeeds where others have failed.
Always had a deep affection for the sun.
So this little event won't make him undone.

Yeah he was a straight shooter from a sleepy town.
Wasn't really big on the idea of being renown.
He didn't much know how to tell good joke.
But he sure had a certain power to invoke.

He broke his back to satisfy his own plight.
So it's safe to say his journey's over right?
Well, no -- it's not.
Not by a long shot.
