In the corner beside my window There hangs a lonely photograph There is no reason I'd never notice A memory that could hold me back There is a wound that's always bleeding There is a road I'm always walking And I know you'll never return to this place Gone through days without talking There is a comfort in silence So used to losing all ambition Struggling to maintain what's left Once undone, there is only smoke Burning in my eyes to blind To cover up what really happened Force the darkness unto me
I always thought there was something strange in Frederik's solo. Going back to our roots, I realised 4:59 in this video is a reference to 3:22 at Powerslave (any studio version on youtube). By the way after this song (Harlequin Forest video) Mikael talks about meeting Bruce Dickinson. I would call that a majestic tribute.
