Odyssey
The Prophecy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That withered and failed beneath the skies
All that was is now in ruin
All that will be is fading like the dream
Wandering through a veil of sadness
Calling out to my lover, I miss her embrace
These are the days when all is fallow
Mask of serenity just illusion
About to break on the inside
Torn to extremity in a lucid dream
An odyssey of sorts through visions ...of fire!
Faith will bind your soul to mine
Hollow of heart, unsound of mind
Turn your head towards the sky
And together we will overcome
Mask of serenity just illusion
About to break on the inside
Torn to extremity in a lucid dream
An odyssey of sorts, fates entwining!
Ethereal words carried on the wind
Lead me towards your cry
An exodus to the ends of the Earth
Carries me closer to this destiny
Faith will bind your soul to mine
Throughout this journey, an odyssey of minds
Leave the despair lost behind
And make the journey last forever

Line by Line Meaning
Take me through this wilderness of mind
Guide me through the complexities of my thoughts and emotions
That withered and failed beneath the skies
That have become weak and ineffective under the pressure of the outside world
All that was is now in ruin
Everything that once existed has been destroyed
All that will be is fading like the dream
Anything that may come into existence is vanishing like a fleeting dream
Wandering through a veil of sadness
Moving aimlessly through a state of deep sorrow
Calling out to my lover, I miss her embrace
Longing for the embrace of a loved one and calling out to them
These are the days when all is fallow
These are times of emptiness and inactivity
So stare on through your window pane
Look out through your window and reflect on the world outside
Mask of serenity just illusion
A facade of calmness that is not the true inner state
About to break on the inside
On the verge of collapsing emotionally
Torn to extremity in a lucid dream
Being pulled in opposing directions in a vivid dream
An odyssey of sorts through visions ...of fire!
A journey of discovery through intense and passionate experiences
Faith will bind your soul to mine
Our shared beliefs will unite us spiritually
Hollow of heart, unsound of mind
Emotionally empty and mentally unstable
Turn your head towards the sky
Look up and seek guidance from a higher power
And together we will overcome
As a team we will conquer all obstacles
Ethereal words carried on the wind
Mysterious and mystical words carried away by the air
Lead me towards your cry
Guide me to your call for help
An exodus to the ends of the Earth
A mass departure to the furthest corners of the globe
Carries me closer to this destiny
Brings me closer to my ultimate fate
Throughout this journey, an odyssey of minds
Throughout this journey our minds will experience a transformation
Leave the despair lost behind
Abandon the feeling of hopelessness and move forward
And make the journey last forever
Make this voyage never-ending and unforgettable
