Dead

Story Behind The Song

The story behind the lyrics is a heartbreaking one. The intro to the song goes on to chant "release me", making this the overriding theme. As the song progresses we see the world around the main character being one full of pain and sadness. Moving and creepy images abound as this person laments over what is assumed to be a lost flame. We see the song move into another scene of darkness, as more reflection on this lost love is done. Soon the one alive wishes to be done with pain, done with the loneliness of being here. So the cold darkness is a wish that might or might not be had. We leave the song hanging, everything implied, but nothing said.

Lyrics

Shattered skies and molten seas
No more time is left to breathe
Breaking silence
In the burden of a dawn
Winds of dust
Walls of stone and marble bones
Lay beneath...
All I wanted was your flame
Now you stayed inside to burn


Fiery storms and lightning rays
No more lies are left to say
Breaking silence
In the lonely garden grave
Sweet perfume
Whispers of the dead and gone
Pass me by
All I wanted was your flame
Now you stayed inside to burn
Give my death the rest to rise

Flashing life before my eyes
Past and present throw the dice
Cold remembrance of your love
Tease my soul please let me go...

No more knives I cannot bleed again.
No more stains in the shadow of your blade

Frozen flesh and icy veins
Softly calling, No more pain
Dark reflections of your face
Chain me to my resting place
