Finality
While Heaven Wept Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd spent a lifetime reaching for the stars above
Yearning for the one who I'd always dreamed of
Then you came to me in winter's cold slumber
An angel with eyes glowing embers

My one, my all
I'd do anything for you my love
My heart belongs to you
I concede my soul to you
I will die loving you

Deathlike silence darkened summer's dawn
I'd awakened from the dream to find you had gone
To hold an angel, nothing but futility
The more I reached for you, the further you were from me

My one, my all
I'd do anything for you my love
My heart belongs to you
I concede my soul to you
I will die loving you
Oh my love
I don't know how to let you go

If only I could have held you one last time
Before you closed your eyes and spread your wings to fly away
If only you could hear me now, I wish I had the chance to tell you
Everything I never had the chance to say:

Take my heart as you leave for I'll need it no more
I'll crawl the darkness of hell while through heaven you'll soar
May you find peace and happiness into the light transcend
I'll spend my last days in sorrow alone until the end





Until the end

Overall Meaning

The song "Finality" by While Heaven Wept tells a heartbreaking story of a person who had spent their entire life searching for love and happiness, only to find it in the form of an angel who came to them in winter's slumber.

Line by Line Meaning

I'd spent a lifetime reaching for the stars above
For my entire existence, I have been striving to achieve great things.


Yearning for the one who I'd always dreamed of
I have always longed for someone to fulfill the idealistic image I have had in my mind.


Then you came to me in winter's cold slumber
You arrived when everything in my life seemed frozen and lifeless.


An angel with eyes glowing embers
You were an extraordinary being with an otherworldly essence about you.


My one, my all
You mean more to me than anything or anyone else in this world.


I'd do anything for you my love
I am willing to go to any length to show my devotion to you.


My heart belongs to you
You possess my heart, and it is yours forever.


I concede my soul to you
My soul belongs to you, and I have given myself completely to you.


I will die loving you
Even in death, my love for you will remain eternal and undying.


Deathlike silence darkened summer's dawn
A feeling of oppressive emptiness had fallen over what should have been a bright and vibrant morning.


I'd awakened from the dream to find you had gone
Reality set in, and I realized that you were no longer with me.


To hold an angel, nothing but futility
It was a hopeless and impossible endeavor to try and grasp on to someone who was so clearly beyond my reach.


The more I reached for you, the further you were from me
The more I tried to pull you closer, the more distant you became.


Oh my love
My dear and beloved one.


I don't know how to let you go
I am uncertain of how to part ways with you and say goodbye.


If only I could have held you one last time
I desperately wish I could have had one final embrace with you.


Before you closed your eyes and spread your wings to fly away
Before you departed from this life and ascended to the heavens.


If only you could hear me now, I wish I had the chance to tell you
I regret not being able to express everything I wanted to say to you while I still had the chance.


Everything I never had the chance to say:
All the words and sentiments that were left unsaid.


Take my heart as you leave for I'll need it no more
My heart belongs with you, and I will no longer have use for it once you have departed.


I'll crawl the darkness of hell while through heaven you'll soar
While you are ascending to a heavenly realm, I will be consumed by misery and despair in a dark underworld.


May you find peace and happiness into the light transcend
I pray that you will find solace and joy as you transcend into the light of a higher plane of existence.


I'll spend my last days in sorrow alone until the end
I will remain alone and grieving until the very end of my days.


Until the end
Until the final moments of my existence, my love for you will never fade or falter.

Fucking beautiful. Sorrow & pain expressed eloquently through song, causing the listener to deeply experience & feel it in a way so rarely felt. So rarely expressed. So many hide their anguish, yet this embraces it & in a way, it makes the listener feel not so alone in their sadness, their pain, their suffering. Anyone who hasn't experienced this music is sorely deprived. Even if this isn't your kind of music typically, it is undeniably beautiful & can be appreciated, understood, and felt. Isn't that what music is supposed to be about in the first place? I think so.

Indeed. When "Fear of Infinity" was released in 2011, Graham Ellis of Terrorizer magazine gave the album 9/10 (10/10 being e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y rare) and wrote thus (goosebumps!): "Drifting with stately might, like the incremental forward grind of a glacier, this builds from the stark bombast of the opening 'Hour of Reprisal' through to the twinkling serenity of 'To Grieve Forever', before reaching a sublime peak of emotional punch on widescreen closer 'Finality', which sounds like prime Candlemass viewed through an MDMA haze." Wow. So apt words.

Collecting these guys discography now...Vast Oceans Lachrymose blew me away, and this record is a great followup. I was prepared for disappointment when I bought it because I thought it would be hard to top the last record, but this one is equally good. :) Close to perfection.
