Description
This song is a progressive piece, and is part of the "Skyless Land" album. The album tells the story of a man named Pharis who is part of a medieval fantasy society. This society thrives on the belief that innocent blood cleanses guilt. So, the members of the society that are deemed innocent by the authorities (the "authorities" being a dictator) are killed regularily. It is Pharis' task to carry out these ceremonial killings.
Lyrics
In my dreams you are free from me, this shadow from me is gone, ‘Cause you know I’m killing me inside, every time that I feel inside, I don’t doubt myself anymore, I don’t doubt the way I destroy, I don’t doubt the way I hurt you, I don’t doubt the way I have to, But I doubt that you will survive, Now that you’re opening, Your eyes, I did it once one long time ago, look at me now, At least it doesn’t make, a murderer of all of us, I hope you’re a lucky one, close your ears to, fate of Pharis, When you speak to me your words are of truth, But they are as poison to my soul, Like opening the floodgates to my eyes, Like compromising my innocence, Take your words away from me, you say it so sadly, I won’t break you if I don’t have to but, It’s so hard to stay away from you, It’s so hard to be near you, It’s so hard to look, In your eyes and see, a reflection of me, Don’t let me be the rotten apple of your eye, Don’t let me drag you down, But where should you go, how am I to know, But where will you go, no one in he world would help you, Maybe not even yourself, and all I have is myself to offer, Maybe you’d rather die, than die like me inside, But who am I to say, I wish I could ask you today, But says the writing in your face, it’d kill you, it’d kill me, To offer it today, I’ve known it since the beginning, But that’s when I started doubting, at least your pain, Is not a shadow, Shadows are harder to purge, From your mind, this is my hope, this is my semblance, Of peace That maybe a pain that’s real can be escaped, That maybe you’ll be mad enough to run away, Run, it is the only way, run, to escape, run, Away from me, run, from the pain you’ve come to be, ‘Cause it is pain to only you and me, So let you fly away, and let me be left in peace, Find your peace
