Theme
The first song written during pre-production, 'Absolution' jump-started the entire Meliora project. Described as having something 'victorious' and 'triumphant' with an arena rock sensibility, the track provides momentary hope amid the album's darkness—a brief reprieve where absolution and redemption seem possible, even within a godless dystopia.
Lyrics
Ever since you were born you've been dying
Every day a little more you've been dying
Dying to reach the setting sun
As a child, with your mind on the horizon
Over corpses, to the prize you kept your eyes on
Trying to be the chosen one
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Even now when you're here you are moving
Hysterically seeking out what needs improving
And you're still asking for the sun
All those things that you desire
You will find there in the fire
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
Put your hands up and reach for the sky
Cry for absolution
You'll be down on your knees and you'll cry
Cry for absolution
