He’s like a shepherd, a guide for them. He promises a new life, a bright light in their existence.
1.7 07. Blackout: A man affected by Schizophrenia becomes conscious of his condition and the differences between him and “normal people”. He knows that his illness fools him and there’s no way to escape from its chains; despite this, he tries to face it with all his forces without success, fighting an internal battle that he cannot win. Long after his birth, “Time” gives him a message for the world aimed to awake people’s mind. He looks different to other people’s eyes but he makes them wonder what is really co
1.8 08. Death Parade: The song is about a dying entity who tells his story to someone attending its last breaths, someone that will succeed it after his death. Rage and sorrow are its actual last feelings and notice how a man is capable of being evil to achieve their narcissistic dreams.
1.9 09. King Of The New Dawn: A sci-fi world where chaos reign allows all the living beings to be immortal. An epic hymn echoes in the air announcing the ascending of a new powerful king with the only purpose to establish an order. The king was born for the will of some of them, the good ones, tired to live in an unnatural dimension where life has no sense and everyone can act without consequences. Nobody can oppose the king, the only one who can be immortal now.
1.10 10. Black March: In this song a man is disappointed by people, he really wonders why good actions bring to pain and sorrow while bad people live their lives always running away from their dues. It seems like there’s no justice at all until death, but a promise, appears through words of despair. The man now knows that justice will be done sooner or later, everyone will pay their debts and the price shall be way worse than death.
1.11 11. …They Will March On: The Gatecloser takes another chance to present and describe himself, those who still have questions are answered very clearly but his name is not revealed. The gate is closed.
