‘He’s been beaten. He’s moping above the rooftop of the destroyed warehouse. He’s obsessed. Before Find The Light this was meant to be the only ‘ballad’ involved, with a slow progressive feel. It was meant to be very cumbersome.
Lyrically I began to explore the ideas of obsession. Even though the story shows Noah’s obsession to catch Tobias, I was struggling to find a way of talking about that in the context of the story. So, I started to think in a romantic but borderline 'stalker’s' way. How you might love or be obsessed with somebody, but it’s taken over your mind. It’s everything you think about, and nothing else enters your mind. For this I’d forgive anybody for the lyrics appearing slightly romantic.’

Lyrics:
As daylight breaks above the sky
I’m left to wonder, Im left in doubt
Burdened without words, I can only sigh
This man, this hate, I’m left without
Getting so close and yet so far
Like grabbing at smoke, I’m chasing clouds
Recite the name, Tobias Darke
But nothing, no nothing will, lift his shroud
The sun brings no light to my darkened world
The warmth feels hollow around my shaking skin
Echoing inside my head, I hear his words
But what could they mean?
All has gone quiet, yet I hear screams
The grounds stopped shaking, yet I tremble
Like being trapped inside someone else’s dream
The clues laid out to disassemble
And if you hear me, please don’t disappear
If you could see me, step into the light
The lunacy manifesting, that you engineered
You’re in my vision, yet stray out of sight
I’m left to question, left without hope
Getting answers that I didn’t need to know
Feeling stranded on a sinking ship
What am I in this fucked relationship?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
Where could you be?
I may be afraid, but I won’t stop now
I will find you, I will hunt you down
Nothing will get in my way, nothing will lead me astray
Your reign of terror soon to decline, in the end, you will be mine
Greetings earthlings! This page is dedicated to Epiphany, my progressive metal solo
project.
Over the course of my time playing guitar, I've felt the restrictions of playing in a band that naturally comes with their given style and sound. Through this project, I hoped to deliver my own varied style and performance with my creative control.
It's not a question of why, but a question of why not?...more
