Lyrics
This kingdom of the living, precariously stands
This world of the living is in a precarious state.
With its walls so fragile built on shifting sands
Its foundations are fragile, built on unstable ground.
Divided by a thin line, that cannot be denied
There's a thin, undeniable division within this world.
No one knows for certain, what's on the other side
No one knows with certainty what lies beyond that division.
Fighting till the end, that light you had to follow
Fighting persistently until the end, pursuing a guiding light.
So fly on out of here my friend
Encouragement to depart from this world, my friend.
Find your peace at last, rest your weary head now
Find peace and finally rest, letting go of weariness.
At the rainbows end
Symbolic reference to finding peace at the end of life, like reaching the end of a rainbow.
A thousand hours bedside you, through this world we roamed
A thousand hours spent together in this world's journey.
Always kept me safe and sound now I must take you home
Expressing the responsibility to guide and bring someone home.
You're ash between my fingers, the wind will swallow you
The departed one is now ashes, vulnerable to the elements.
Be with me forever, silence, tears and laughter too
Desire for the departed to be a permanent presence, encompassing silence, tears, and laughter.
Fighting till the end, that light you had to follow
Continuing the struggle until the very end, following a guiding light.
So fly on out of here my friend
Encouragement to depart from this world, my friend.
Find your peace at last, rest your weary head now
Seeking peace and rest, releasing weariness.
At the rainbows end
Symbolic reference again to finding peace at life's end, akin to a rainbow's end.
Thin line, thin line, thin line
Repetition emphasizing the thin and undeniable division.
Thin line, thin line, thin line
Continued emphasis on the thin, uncertain line.
Thin line, thin line, thin line
Reiteration, highlighting the fragility of this division.
Thin line, thin line, thin line
Emphasizing once again the delicate nature of the thin line.
Fighting till the end, that light you had to follow
Persisting in the struggle until the very end, guided by a light.
So fly on out of here my friend
Encouragement to depart from this world, my friend.
Find your peace at last, rest your weary head now
Seeking peace and rest, letting go of weariness.
At the rainbows end
Symbolic reference to finding peace at the end, akin to reaching the end of a rainbow.
