Story Behind The Song

A virtual reality world where a time limit exists. When the time limit hits, the brain and body are disconnected. The protagonist is the husband of a person who hit zero hour and died. He wonders if she is still somewhere in the virtual world.

Lyrics

Cascading into the unknown
Now a soul ripped apart from my shell and my heart
I'm coming back but not alone
Hear the cries of the lost, paid the ultimate cost
to linger here, detached for far too long

The countdown starts
Reaching zero hour,
will I see you now?
across the dark, reaching out
Blindly I'm searching for you

The day they buried you away
When they severed the line was your soul left behind?
I was possessed; I had to know
Both bewitched and bereft, could I save what was left?
Attached the wires, dove in all alone

The countdown starts
Reaching zero hour,
will I see you now?
across the dark, reaching out
Screaming in silence I,
am torn apart
Almost zero hour
should I just let go
A sacrifice for your hand reaching mine

I don't recall...
Is it worth returning after all?
I'm ready to fall
Reaching out, reaching out
