Lyrics

Never could we see what lies deeper
Seeming that our view can’t be changed
Deciding where to go and believe in your disaster
Deleting a future untold

This is the final deceiver
This is the devil in me
Expecting deeds in the making
Will show no final relief

Ever would we dance with the reaper
Seething in a monstrous cage
Ideas meant to placate when meeting your disaster
Are only for a desperate fool

Destructive thoughts to mislead us
Can come from deep underground
Believing sources unbroken
Will tear the legion apart

Will we be forever free as we unchain our souls from life forever
(You are just a slave to the dust)
Another time, where you and me will be freed with one more last endeavour
(You cannot escape your fate now)
(No !)

Try me, don’t deny me
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye
Why won’t you lie with me, my light’s ending
On a night when I find, I’ll take my final flight

Now come and see divinity where night turns day so far away from heaven
(You will never earn my trust)
Provoke the need, give word to deed and dive into another God-like atmosphere
(You will never find your way out)
(No !)

Try me, don’t deny me
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye
Why won’t you lie with me, my light’s ending
On a night when I find, I’ll take my final flight

I’d rather die than breathe in my shame
They’ll know my name, all hell in flames

For our faith we proudly die
(For it we would die)
For our sovereign, all hell will arise
(Hell will surely rise)

We’ll serve our cause in earning reward
(Earning our reward)
Collision of skies, the ocean wept dry
(Every ocean dry)

Another’s desperation flying through the emptiness
As my degradation throws me out of line

Try me, don’t deny me
Please embrace me in your peace
I want to fly into the bright
Would you please guide my last goodbye
Why won’t you lie with me, my light’s ending
On a night when I find, I’ll take my final flight
Take the final flight

Trivia

  • The instrumental version in the mispressed album has a small part of vocals from Simone Simons at the very beginning, which makes it different from the total instrumental song released separately, on which you only hear the piano at the beginning.
  • This is one of Simone’s favourite songs.

“I am a movie freak and I saw this movie. It’s called Shogun, and I like the Japanese culture and the samurai and the suicide ritual. The song has a Japanese feeling. I wanted to write about it, it’s about suicide seen through different perspectives of culture, like for samurai, it’s about preserving honor, or it can be about tan individual who is not happy with life anymore.” – Simone Simons
