The sacrifice's outcome remains uncertain : the traveler struggles to escape from his sleep. Despite being conscious of the inner fight he has to deal with in order to be whole again. Everything needs to be rebuilt, and he ignores whether he will be able to. Nevertheless, someone seems to be giving him a hand, bringing life back by its touch. Through this caring call, he tries to reconnect with who he still is, and to tame who he becomes during his own absence.
lyrics
Get rid of your burden my friend
Ascend to your real state
Hands are coming to wake him up
How long will he be asleep
Caught in an apathic dream
With dreamy eyes wide open But he doesn't get anything
Caught in an apathic dream
It's gonna hurt, it's gonna burn
when he'll find out the certainties are weak and lame
There's no return, it's gonna taste
Like real life, no bitterness of lies
He cannot feel
Only observe
The spectrum of life
For which he strives
The will to see the light
When it's all dark
When the colors of the world
Are a distant call
When the 'Maybe' and the 'Might' will turn into
Now, Choice, Action
Something true
Evolving in shades
He has no taste nor feelings
Hearing distant bells
Now it’s time to try to risk it
He's addicted to shades
And every night he stays away
from the dreams and the signs
This emptiness is kept
with diamonds of dust and disdain
Loneliness
Hands are coming
To wake him (up)
Get up and see the light
