The Journey (Nervosa) Lyrics
Open up the wide gates here I come
The broad path is getting trampled under my feet
The narrow way and the tiny ugly door is getting smaller and smaller
Too small for me
Open me up just like a vacuum sucking in the dirt
Put it all inside me baby
Hear, speak, see and rise like leviathan
Armor plated, fire breathing
Yeah, I am
I am the empty empty
Yeah I am
I am the nothing in me
My will be done, done did it
Did the everything that leads to nothing
And breathing in the rotten stink, feeling something
Something Leads to nothing breathe it in
Bat wings swathing my face screeching singing something into me the light, it flees
Open up the earth, my veins, my legs, my throat, my head, my soul is dead
Breaking down the walls that you leave up to keep me from eating the tree of knowledge
Suck that fruit and spit the seed
Leave behind the sad and spineless
Part the sea and break apart the crust let me in the darkest tunnels at night
Let your spirit sag like a skin molting let it drop, shut out the ugly light
The broad path is getting trampled under my feet
The narrow way and the tiny ugly door is getting smaller and smaller
Too small for me
Open me up just like a vacuum sucking in the dirt
Put it all inside me baby
Hear, speak, see and rise like leviathan
Armor plated, fire breathing
I am the empty empty
Yeah I am
I am the nothing in me
Did the everything that leads to nothing
And breathing in the rotten stink, feeling something
Something Leads to nothing breathe it in
Bat wings swathing my face screeching singing something into me the light, it flees
Open up the earth, my veins, my legs, my throat, my head, my soul is dead
Suck that fruit and spit the seed
Leave behind the sad and spineless
Part the sea and break apart the crust let me in the darkest tunnels at night
Let your spirit sag like a skin molting let it drop, shut out the ugly light

Are you kidding me? No comments on this yet? This song is incredible, and it hits you like a freight train.
It is clearly about Nervosa's defiance of God, and her greed to go where she doesn't belong.
Buy both albums. Sit back and listen, read the stories. This is truly what a concept album should be.
