Terminus Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Terminus lyrics by Machine Head

This interlude is a moment of internal regret where Ares and Eros both realize the crimes they've committed. Both think and speak as one, while Amythest, and Eros' mother, speak to them and comfort them. They ask why they did it, and both tell the two leads that they acted out of believing what they were doing was right. They also tell them that the cities of sin are of their own creation, and if they wish to forgive themselves and repent, the truth will set them free. By the end, they both accept the reality of their sins and wish for their souls to be freed from the rot they've polluted their souls with.

The name "Terminus" refers to a final point or an end of some kind, which fits this interlude piece as both characters want to bring this war to its end.
