This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When I started asking questions you were nowhere to be found
When I begged for your protection you were nowhere to be found
Disappointed in your children, did you leave us here to drown?
Have you sacrificed the kingdom? Have you given up your crown?
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
I gave you faulted vision so you'd fall in love with sound
And as for that protection, well you're still above the ground
You cause your own misfortune to use it in a verse
When so many around you have got it so much worse
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
Lonely in death, will it repeat? No one can promise what you're promising me.
Nothing diminished, the influence hangs over, gray cloud
Misinformation always comes unwound
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
When I begged for your protection you were nowhere to be found
Disappointed in your children, did you leave us here to drown?
Have you sacrificed the kingdom? Have you given up your crown?
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
I gave you faulted vision so you'd fall in love with sound
And as for that protection, well you're still above the ground
You cause your own misfortune to use it in a verse
When so many around you have got it so much worse
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery
Lonely in death, will it repeat? No one can promise what you're promising me.
Nothing diminished, the influence hangs over, gray cloud
Misinformation always comes unwound
Only in death will I receive a definite answer to that mystery

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
amazing song!
I would imagine that this song is about religion. It seems to be railing against the promises of religous leaders by declaring that the person will think for themselves and doesn't need anyone to tell them what they should do or what will happen when they die. Probably my favorite song on the album.
