To take my soul
This is the day
I have always been told
I was not afraid
My path has come
This is the time to live
You went away
With all I've (ever) had
Nothing will be the same again
My soul is yours and so my life
Nothing will change my path
I know that now you own my death
Don't even know if I can die
This is the dark

To take my soul
This is the day
I have always been told
I was not afraid
My path has come
This is the time to live
You went away
Nothing will be the same again
My soul is yours and so my life
Nothing will change my path
I know that now you own my death
Don't even know if I can die
This is the dark
I have always dreamt of
No other place but this
Far away
There's no space
No more time to realize
All the distance
In the world
Never live never die
The lyrics of Alien Vampires's song Far Away suggest that the singer has encountered death, which is personified as a figure that has come to take their soul. Rather than being afraid, the singer accepts their fate and sees it as a natural part of their life's journey. They willingly give themselves over to death, acknowledging that it now owns their death, and that nothing will change the course of their life. The lyrics evoke a sense of darkness and mystery, describing death as the place that the singer had always dreamed of.
The chorus of the song, "Far away, there's no space, no more time to realize", seems to capture the feeling of being detached from one's physical body and entering into a new realm that is outside of time and space. The final lines of the song, "All the distance in the world, never live never die", suggest that death is not so much an end, but rather an ongoing state that exists beyond the limitations of our earthly existence.
Overall, the lyrics of Far Away seem to explore themes of mortality, acceptance, and transcendence. By embracing their own death, the singer is able to enter into a new realm that is both dark and alluring.
