about

This song is about the final steps of the character, embracing death after burying his pages and throwing himself into a hole in the ocean.

lyrics

This is the end of the road
It's time to elevate my soul, and shed my body
Atlas set me free

I've walked too many miles, written too many lines
My legacy to a non-existing future
The wreckage I've seen, and the places I've been
The tombs of the martyrs who look down in shame

Spectators above the sphere standing for an ovation
Watching such a pathetic race leading itself to eradication

This is the end of the road, I'm caught in the eye of the storm
My soul is elevating, I shed my body
Atlas set me free

Rather than building the bridge, the man pierces the border
Rather than building the bridge, the man pierces and smashes the border
The greatest dream of man, to reach for the clouds and the upper
What is the point of all of this ? Cause to the highest you climb, from the highest you fall

I see the end of the tunnel, death is just a beginning
The eye of the storm awaits me

Ready to dive, the reaper opens his arms wide
I fall into the embrace of the deadly bride
Put the ring on my broken finger
As my breath ignites, I'm sinking deeper
And ascending faster

The limits of the clouds are meant for explorers, and not destroyers.
The greatest dream of man, to reach for the skies and to conquer the upper
What is the point of all of this ? Cause to the highest you climb
From the highest you fall.
