Theme

The contemplative closer of the album, exploring themes of loss and the afterlife. The song tells of being called to the 'rainbow's end' by a shadowy figure, presenting a melodramatic yet profound meditation on mortality and what comes next. It serves as a fitting conclusion to Skeletá's introspective journey, touching on transcendence and the unknown.

Lyrics
It is the end of your penitence It is the end of your sadness and pain It's the return to your innocence It is the end of a life grieved in vain Everybody leaves one day I know it hurts Everybody goes away You will, too, I will, too Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel There is still time for deliverance There is still time to make peace with your friend And to return to where there's a chance There is still time to love once again Everybody leaves one day I know it hurts Everybody goes away You will, too, I will, too Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel As levees are breaking A flood comes Washes away all the rubble Past indiscretions and stalemates We are all sailing to the gates Everybody leaves one day I know it hurts Everybody goes away You will, too, I will, too Come with me to the rainbow's end Come with me to the Holy Land Come with me You will, too, I will, too Excel, excel, excel, excel This is the end of the avenue I am afraid of eternity, too
