The situation gets restless on this new step of the journey : the traveler tries to resurrect through the angry voice. He begs pardon for the mistakes he did in the past, particularly by remaining passive towards his beloved ones’ sorrow. His speech seems to have an impact on his nemesis, losing faith in her own role. Her reign is over, as she lets her successor take the lead, conjuring him to make up for her mistakes in a last breath.
lyrics
I look at you but my heart doesn't feel
Satisfied of myself of the pain I won't heal
It’s in your body, your mind and your soul
But what can I do if my brain doesn't recall
How can I feel
Please tell me what happened
Why can’t I feel
I’m not made to live in this world
My heart lit like fire
Consuming what belongs to the past
Going back undisguised
Memories buried inside
From the scourge of the past
On the edge of a knife
Prisoner of my life
Should I question myself why you’re still not moving
For the people you love
For the people I love
Why can’t I feel
(Existence is not vain
Confidence I shall gain)
Your burden is my fear
(Leave alone all my doubts
Move forward, no lookback)
Exist and resist
(In this world we shall live
Together, coexist)
Memories you’ll desist
(From my soul fuel your heart
Take the sorrow apart)
Say it, admit it
(The souls I abandoned)
Admit, confess
(All trust is lost)
Say it, admit it
(The wounds I have ignored)
Express all your regrets
What did I become
What am I to you
My friend, whom I abandoned
Exhausted of my own condition
My peaceful silence deafened the screams of the beloved
To you all, forgive me, for I have sinned
Put me down to sleep forever
Only one of us can remain
Only one of us can live
I will let you out
After all these years
These are my last words
Bring peace in their hearts
