Vocals

This harsh vocal is nice.

Music

At certain points I couldn't help but hear similarities between this song and the theme song for Game of Thrones. It has that kinda royal feel and some of the notes are the same. Other times it is quite atmospheric. Sometimes the pace picks up with the riff still ringing out in the background. I like the use of piano.

Lyrics

It seems to be talking about a situation that requires a lot of determination, and in the end, though the person is pressing forward, he/she isn't sure if it all makes sense.

I find myself in this situation a lot. Determination has the best of me!

Harnessing the madness I swore would be the end of me
Turned ashes into glory to last beyond my time
Striving for perfection I turned the very stars
Still it's not enough – forever unfulfilled
Trudging through the path, step by torturous step
Insight waits for me; emptiness made real
No sight, no senses, no feelings, no more
