about

As part of my concept album, this song is sequenced between "Welcome to the Show" and "Revelations" [the latter of which has not been written yet].
The song is on the theme of death, and was written about the death of my grandmother (whom I was never too close with to be honest, but naturally I have felt sad).
The music was influenced by the chords from "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd.

lyrics

I walk off miles into the sunset
You're gone and will never come back
You've sadly died and passed away
I must soldier on down the right track

You're a unique, leaving outsider
The body is gone, but the spirit remains
No longer physically on this earth
But forever in our hearts and our brains

The music jester that started so?
Now the seargeants were drinking slow?
Do you feel you're knocking on heaven's door?
Do your eyes gently kiss the floor?

The gift taken from you was my reality
The embodiment of you ceases to be
The rest of us are left standing on our own
We're left here to fight the pain alone

You're a unique, leaving outsider
The body is gone, but the spirit remains
No longer around on this earth
But forever in our hearts, even when it rains
