End Of Time

With one person having their "flesh and blood" in the other speaker, my guess is that one of the speakers is the child of the other.

Maybe it's about a child coming back home to see their terminally ill mother?

Here's the first stanza of the song:

"You've built your lies Above the sand You hold my hand Before the end comes Forgiving me For what I've done till the end of days"

My guess is that one of the two speakers has lied to the other. Now that they've been reunited, one of the speakers is forgiven for what past misdeed that they have done to the other person. What's unclear is who lied to who and who is being forgiven here.

The second stanza goes:

"'Cause I belong to you 'Cause I am part of you I am dying in your arms It's time to go I can make it through"

I'm guessing that the other speaker has told this person that they belong to them because they are part of them. It seems that this statement, along with the fact that they are dying, seems to be used as the justification for it being their "time to go". And assures the other speaker that they "can make it through" this ordeal.

The third stanza:

"I can feel you and I think that everything you wanted to me Was the mirror of your dreams but I couldn't believe what you take As I belong to you My flesh and blood in you I am burning in this fire It's time to go I can't make it through"

I think that the first speaker is bringing up their past differences. The first speaker (child) is telling the second speaker (parent) that everything that the second speaker wanted the first speaker to be was to be reflection of what the second speaker had wished to become for herself - accomplishing what they couldn't get accomplished for herself in her child. But, the child didn't want what her parent had in mind for her and wanted her own life.

Yet, that was all in the past. Using the same justification as her parent had used, she is telling her parent that she is tormented by this request that her parent has for her. And, she tells her that she won't be able to make it through this.

And, when I say "her", I don't necessarily mean that the parent is the mother, but could just as well be the father. Likewise, the child could just as well be the son instead of a daughter. I'm just trying to use correct grammar here.

The chorus: "I've come to realize Tonight my dear the end of time Is not so far away We cannot pray to save our lives I've come to realize Tonight my friend the end of time Is not so far away We cannot pray to save our lives"

The parent is telling the child that they have now realized, in their old age, that the end for them is not far away. No one can pray to prevent their death from happening, and is using that to assure the child about what has to come next.

The last stanza:

"I'm coming home again And now I know where I belong Reeling from my instincts Cause I realize I'm not alone"

The parent is telling their tormented child that they're coming "home". It's in one's instincts to be afraid of death, but the parent is moving away from those instincts because they won't be alone where they're going. Perhaps, because they're going to be reunited with their loved ones?
