The Pact
The Pact Unveiled: Love, Sacrifice, and the Sinister Shadows of a Sacred Promise
Lyrics
Outside the leaves are slowly falling from the trees
Observation of the seasonal change, hinting at an impending gloomy atmosphere.
Black clouds are moving in, a storm is coming on
Further depiction of an approaching storm, suggesting an ominous situation.
Inside the confessional, Angel and I are playing games
Depicts a scenario within a confessional, engaging in a symbolic play.
I'm acting the priest, and she is the sinner of all my dreams...
Playing roles; the singer as a priest and another individual as the one burdened by sinful desires.
Dreams, dreams, turn into a nightmare
Transition from pleasant dreams to a nightmarish experience.
A sudden change on her face, her smile is gone without a trace
Observation of a sudden change in the partner's demeanor, losing their smile.
"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
Expressing the transient nature of things, indicating impermanence.
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
Recognition of numerous flaws and fears within the situation.
A year ago... I signed a sacred pact, and if you love me so will you"
Reference to a commitment made a year ago, possibly with serious implications.
Then she told me of the Pact, her tears were not an act
Revealing the emotional weight and truth behind the commitment or "Pact."
And they were not alone, all my dreams... shattered to the bone
Realization of shattered dreams due to the revelation.
I fell to my knees in prayer... but ohhh this is Hell
An emotional reaction to the perceived hellish situation.
The Pact is so powerful, it leaves you no way out
Describing the immense power and entrapment of the "Pact."
Unless within a year, someone else will sign it in blood
Conditioned escape clause within the "Pact" involving another person's involvement.
Someone to take your place, to guard this evil church
Specifying the requirement for someone to replace the signer to uphold the commitment.
Another wolf to roam the hills, another wolf... in for the kill
Metaphorical reference to a wolf as a symbol of danger or threat.
"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
Reiterating the transient nature of things, emphasizing impermanence.
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
Recognition of multiple issues and fears within the context.
A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"
Reiteration of the commitment made a year ago, reinforcing its significance.
If i sign it now, Angel will be free to go
Contemplation of signing the "Pact" to free the partner.
She must leave without her memory, no more a wolf, but as a lady
Detailing the terms of freeing the partner with memory loss and transformation.
And if I don't, then in seven days she will die before my very eyes
Consequences of not signing the "Pact," leading to the partner's imminent death.
Either way... I'll never see her again
Acceptance of losing the partner regardless of the decision.
If i sign then I must stay, and only leave as a wolf for prey
Consequences of signing the "Pact," being trapped as a threat or predator.
"Nothing... nothing is forever", she said
Emphasizing impermanence and the presence of various problems and fears.
"So many things are wrong in here, so many times I've lived in fear
Reiteration of the multitude of issues and fears within the situation.
A year ago... I signed a sacred Pact"
Recollection of the commitment made a year ago, underlining its weight.
And now I'm signing it for you
The singer's decision to sign the "Pact" on behalf of someone else.
