| Just thought I'd throw in a dumb fun fact, this song was named after an Australian Progressive band, one of the obscure bands Mike has in his collection. | |

| trying to see the whole piece as a whole and not nit pick and categorise every word / phrase... the section that knocks the shit out of me has to be the transition between the dissonance and clean melody... right about when michael sings "in... to... death"... the simple chords with an ebow feedback are truely amazing. there's so much dispair and hopelessness in them... its so eerie and tense. boy, what songwriting skills! | |

| "A sickness in me Constant pace towards the end" "There is a peace I am searching There is a freedom I'm depending on There is a pain that's never ending There is a rain falling only on me There is a dream I am living There is a life I am dreaming of There is a death I'm awaiting There is a home I am deserting " "Take what I have and deliver me Into everlasting sleep " I think this song is about depression and suicide... Am I the only one to sense a will to die into this? | |

| i agree with you to an extent perfect weapon. i think that he is on his deathbed or had a near death experience, and then realised how much the world has screwed him over. then he becomes the emotionless user who is awaiting death | |

| These lyrics are the most Bibical and obivious! The Master in this song is anoited by etheral light then teaches his great wisdom unto his apprentices. He must do it fast because he is awaiting his death. Therefore I conclude that the Master is Christ and the apprentices are his apostles. | |

| The person turns their back on faith. At the end of his life he is "put to the test/ once i'm below there's no turning back/ plunging into the deepest void". Guess who is the master? | |

| the climax towards the middle of the song: Soothing trance Colors fade And disappear Ethereal light Showing me what I can do without gives the idea that the character has some form of spiritual purification that he disagrees with, and by the sound of the next part, it's "controlling you to get ahead" | |

| I would say that it's about the slow transformation of a person who has been screwed too many times, into an emotionless user of others. | |

| i personally think that this song is about someone awaiting death. Im guessing there is more to it from the posts above but verses like "there is a death im awaiting" and "fading away" or "lead the way into death" are hinting to me that someone is definitely dying or is going to die in a short time. great song | |

| PLUNGING INTO THE DEEPEST VOID, DEPARTED SHELL LEFT DRAINED BEHIIND~! it gets fucking crazy after that. decent song because of that part and the clean part preceding it, but that first riff is kind of boring and repeated way too long. | |
