A metal themed rock opera between two characters. One angelic, the other is demonic. Simply put, this song is a psychedelic journey with many twists and turns.
lyrics
The journey has begun
Wars have been lost and won
Tearing in my brain
I no longer want to feel this pain
The search for ultimate power
It is upon this hour
The recluse within my soul
Has dug me into a deeper hole
The realm of the dead is near
The living are hiding in fear
Pray be the ones who are diseased
Death only brings relief
The road to Valhalla is a bright one
The helm of awe gives me power
I only pray to the Nordic gods
So why is it that they've led me afar?
Vegvisir, guide me through the storm
What's stopping you now?
Is this what you wanted?
To have immense power
To shed your mortal coil
Standing in the dark
Can't find you
Don't know where you are
Or where I am lost in your sight
Caught up again in this fight
Losing to your touch
I'm paralyzed by your eyes
Pierced in blue light
Dark arctic ice in the night
Fall with me as we dance
Swiftly as the sea moves under the moon light
Carry my soul tonight
To the end of time
Stay with me for all time
Destiny may cast her wicked hand
As you may return to the land of the sand
She only prays to the Christian gods
That's why her soul is locked forever
This is my final eclipse
My last wish is to kiss your lips
I will beckon to enthrall
Before I finally fall
