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
