Analysis of In the name
Did you ever feel the same?
We've crossed these two paths so many times
The Distance and the blame
The Devil promised you heaven
and with any promise comes a lie
The destination only seemed forward
but was it all left behind?
Do you ever feel his desire?
Can you feel his pain?
His embodiment is beautiful
but inside it screams
I will open myself to your thoughts
I will feel human even for a second time
Abandonment will fill this void
Emptiness I try so hard to hide
You walked away
and closed the door to our forever
I was left with a noose around my neck
and a life I wanted to surrender
Your sacrifice
and your words that I have always remembered
It was not my time
For your name I must deliver
