Over deze songtekst:
Elysium is volgens de oude Grieken de plaats waar de overledenen heengaan. Volgens de Griekse dichter Homer, auteur van het beroemde boek Odyssey, vind je die plek aan de westelijke rand van de aarde bij de Okeanos of Oceanos. De oude Grieken geloofden dus dat in de oceaan, in het westen waar de zon ondergaat, een eilanden groep is waar de overledenen heen gaan. Homer zegt dat de eilanden bestuurd worden door de wijze koning Rhadamanthus, zoon van Zeus en Europa. Andere schrijvers noemen Cronus de leider van Elysium. Cronus is een god in de Griekse mythologie.
Hear my promise of blistering light Sowing a rose of obsidian My dear I promise, death comes to all In a heartbeat only silence Let's play with the fire that runs in our veins Trust in the might of a miracle Now winter has come and I'll stand in the snow I don't feel the cold And it's all that I will ever need to believe One day I know we will meet again In the shade of a life to die for Watching the world through the eyes of a child in Elysium Will I know you then? (will I know you then?) Now bring down your fortress and swallow your pride Don't break in your moments of ignorance Existence will capture a spark of life Just a fragment, but it's all that I will ever need to revive One day I know we will meet again In the shade of a life to die for Watching the world through the eyes of a child in Elysium Will I find you there in that darkness Of the shadow that comes over all? Dear friend, will I know you then? Will I know you then at all? One day we'll meet (One day we will meet in the shade of a life) In the shade of a life to die for (Watching the world) Watching the world through the eyes of a child Will I know you then? One day I know we will meet again In the shade of a life to die for Watching the world through the eyes of a child in Elysium Will I know you then? Will I know you then?
