\u2018Eternity\u2019 is the twelfth song on the album, and it\u2019s the moment where the wanderer finally reaches his destination. He escaped the forest, the witch and her evil spells, the path now finally reaching its end and with that his destiny.<\/p>\n
The song starts soft, a complete 180 compared to the song before. It feels as if the wanderer stopped in his tracks to take a deep breath and think. Eternal rest awaits him, but does he deserve it? His journey has felt like some kind of purgatory, an in-between world with no clear destination. Now that he has found a way out, he wonders if this was meant to be his path.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would be free, but is it enough?\u201d he asks. His soul is heavy with sins, mistakes and broken promises. He begs for mercy and calls out to the ruler of the in-between, hoping he has proven himself on his journey. \u201cGoddess of the mist, take my soul and set me free!\u201d he demands, leaving the choice within her hands, afraid to finish walking the path he had chosen, because he may not deserve it. He would accept his fate from her to find eternal peace and let his soul become eternity.<\/p>\n
She doesn\u2019t answer and the wanderer keeps lamenting his past. \u2018I cannot change the past, this will be the final judgement of everything I have done.\u2019 He says in the second verse, while he wonders if his sins will be forgiven. He knows there\u2019s no going back- this is the end for him. He asks the goddess to guide him into her warm embrace once more, longing to be free. Musically, the song reaches its highest point after this moment. A modulation a choir and the adlibs together form a hopeful sound, the feeling as if the skies open and the sun comes through.<\/p>\n
Does this mean the choice has been made and the wanderer will be lead down the path towards the paradise ahead? Find out in the next and last update of \u2018behind the music\u2019!<\/p>\n
Lyrics:<\/p>\n
Gently guided by the light
\nTo the path that lies ahead
\nLeading me to journey\u2019s end
\nWhere I\u2019ll find eternal rest<\/p>\n
I can hear the silent calls
\nFrom the spirits of the past
\nI don\u2019t know what is to come
\nWill I meet my fate<\/p>\n
I would be free
\nBut is it enough<\/p>\n
There is nothing left behind
\nChapters closed and stories made
\nTime to face the final test
\nHave my efforts been enough<\/p>\n
I have carried all my sins
\nMy mistakes and brok\u0435n vows
\nAs a burden on my back
\nHeavy is my soul<\/p>\n
Down on my knees
\nI\u2019m begging for m\u0435rcy<\/p>\n
Goddess of the mist
\nTake my soul and set me free
\nLet me sink towards the depths
\nWhere I\u2019ll find eternal peace<\/p>\n
Memories will fade
\nAll will slowly disappear
\nOnce my spirit is alight
\nI\u2019ll become eternity<\/p>\n
There is nothing to be done
\nAs my life has come to end
\nI can never change the past
\nI can only look ahead<\/p>\n
This will be my reckoning
\nFinal judgement of my fate
\nWill I find eternal bliss
\nAre my sins forgiven<\/p>\n
My reflection draws me in
\nStaring into my own eyes
\nAnd I know this is my time
\nThis is finally the end<\/p>\n
Goddess guide me by your hand
\nLay my memories to rest
\nThis is where I long to be
\nWarm in your embrace<\/p>\n
