The Grand Finale of this album. Just like "Maestus", this track features a cello quartet and is written in the same key to provide a closure to the album.
lyrics
Revenants.
Come revenants,
Plagued by empathy,
Selfish agony,
I was never concerned.
Seems impossible, the remedy.
One chance of redemption,
Many others to fail.
For each one of us,
Shares the emptiness,
Shares the solitude.
Same look in our eyes.
This hopelessness,
Insufficiency,
Irrelevant tempest
Behind fake smiles.
Never show yourself,
Self-composed and veiled.
Had one cross to bear,
And now you take mine?
I know how it feels,
One destroys and one heals.
It's getting late,
You call it fate,
I'll call it defeat.
Who cares what they say,
As they take you away?
This "swan song",
It won't be long.
Who are you to grieve?
In the end, we just want to believe.
