In a nutshell, this song is a powerful anthem of self improvement and independence. Also being the final track on the final album with Roy Khan, it calls back to the epic, charging symphonic metal which put Kamelot on the map, but still sticks with the themes of personal strife in Poetry for The Poisoned.
"I am scorned in this heavenly scheme
With the stench of destruction
I'm a reaver of beautiful dreams
And she knows I'm on the edge, sacrilege"
-The speaker is in a dark place and people in their life have concern for them.
"Tell me once upon a time
I close my eyes and see myself reborn
Righting the wrong
I won't stay to stand in line
And wait for God to shine all over me
I wait for the storm"
-The speaker does not just wish for a change in their deeds, but declares that they will step out of line to make a change and not wait for a, perhaps never-coming, divine intervention.
