about

Probably the most straightforward of all the metal songs on the album and probably also the easiest to assign to a single genre, which would be melodic death metal in this case. Its lyrics are about the inner motivation of people, the difficulties of accepting or even truly finding it and the sad alternatives that many of us come up with as a substitute to learning about ourselves, causing conflicts between inside and outside. It closes with a memorial march for the deceased main character of the story.

lyrics

Another realm abandoned, still no sign to grasp
This time on his own he was, none to aid him on his task
The vision that has driven him, was slowly dissipating
Conditions now turned truly dim, rock bottom was awaiting

Despite all he went on, senses dull and blunted
Piece by piece the ardent seeker has become the hunted
Just as he deemed to have truly lost his trail
He froze as he's caught a glimpse of the requisite grail

Do not be afraid of wandering astray
For the journey that you'll make
Will fulfill the very role of your fate
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife

In a world where masses watch their fires wither
Some hide in their ignorance and in the cold they quiver
Others suffocate them by the chains of fashion
Few ever use its shine to chase their passion

The knight who set out to search the world
For a sight he has seen in his dreams
Faced fabled beasts and giants
With all their spells and cursing screams

With every year that's passed
And every dear life faded
Doubts were growing vast
And what once was bright got shaded

No period, no era
No matter how tiring or long
Shall plant a seed of resignation
For sincerity will never bear wrong
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife

Now with hope restored again
Turned out the efforts were not in vain
As he treaded down the newfound trail
He knew that this time he'd prevail

As he recieved the gifts of victory
His earthly shell has come undone
His deeds have turned to memory
And his mind rose to join stars and sun

Remember those who fought
Against mundane creed
To lighten up the flames of courage
For us to dare the deed
Ride on waves of the fire
Set aflame by the spark of life
Fueled by the presence of desire
We shall be able to withstand every strife
